Chris Ford has been a modeller since childhood starting with simple plastic and balsa wood kits. By his teens he had become almost exclusively interested in railway modelling and by adulthood he had developed a particular interest in what some regard as the more 'quirky' railway prototypes, especially the narrow gauge lines. Chris has built many model railway layouts over the years both for private home use and for public exhibition display. Most of these layouts have featured in articles published in the model railway press and for two of them he received the Reiner Hendriksen Award for freelance modelling, which is presented each year at the Expo-Narrow Gauge model railway exhibition.
To sum up, this is a nice well-compiled book for someone beginning
in narrow gauge, with clear advice and an abundance of good
photographs.
*Gauge of Guild magazine*
This book achieves what it sets out to do and gives a most thorough
insight into modelling all aspects of the Welsh narrow-gauge
passenger lines. It is also well illustrated with over 200
photographs, all in colour. It’s pleasingly accurate over detail.
The fact that the FR is such an attractive line to model, and is
thus so popular, is no surprise, but does add to the appeal of this
book. Thoroughly recommended.
*Ffestiniog Railway magazine*
In your deputy editor’s opinion, the book is just what’s been
needed – it’s akin to a bible for modelling in OO9. In addition to
providing guidance in simple, easy to understand terms, it will
doubtless inspire readers to take a fresh look at their layouts,
adding details which may not have occurred to them previously -
remembering the old adage that a model railway layout is never
finished! Essential for narrow gauge modellers.
