N gauge is the most rapidly expanding of all the model railway formats and if you want to take advantage of its huge potential, then this is the book for you. The author explains exactly what N gauge is, its history, its advantages and some of its possible disadvantages. He begins with a train set and progresses through choosing a prototype and designing a layout, to a practical demonstration of how to build a baseboard, to designs for open-topped baseboards and fiddle yards.

Features and reviews in the NGS Journal, Railway Modeller and Model Rail magazines. Reviews in British Railway Modelling, Model Engineer and Model Engineer's Workshop.
