This book is about one ordinary person's efforts, largely carried out
single-handedly and with limited funds, to build a model railway layout
in his garden that runs just like the real thing. It is based on Brymbo
in North Wales, where the GWR and LNER were joined by the LMS in the
search for mineral wealth. Allen Jackson's recreation runs between three
sheds and features empty and loaded coal trains travelling from colliery
to steelworks; pickup goods; branch passenger and excursion traffic; and
even its very own CCTV and system to aid signalling. Packed with
wonderful illustrations including photographs and layout diagrams, this
book is a wonderful tribute to a lifetime's hobby and will delight
railway modellers both young and old.
