Over the years I have gained much modelling knowledge from practical experience, and belonging to model railway clubs, quite apart from the wealth of knowledge gained from working on the `real thing from a young post-school teenager through to my retirement.My first published book, The Newcomers Guide to Model Railways (ISBN 98-1-85794-329-0) has I am told proved to be very popular and has given many readers a great helping hand in their hobby. So it has been deemed necessary that I should produce a second book, which would enhance the first without covering the same ground too much.While in these pages I write about generic items and often reference the real thing, there are many regional variations, and these cannot be taken into account within the confines of this book. Therefore I would recommend that, before starting any regional or era-based project, you undertake a good deal of research to gain the correct facts. Internet searches, books and perhaps visits to preserved railways or to the national network will usually reveal plenty of detail.If you are starting out in the hobby or returning to it after several years of absence and have not obtained a copy of The Newcomers Guide to Model Railways, I suggest it might be an advantage to obtain one. I hope you enjoy the items you are about to read and hopefully they will help and possibly nudge you into producing a great model railway layout. Remember - think safely, then act. Author Biography Brian Lamberts first published book, The Newcomers Guide to Model Railways, has given many readers a helping hand in their hobby. So he has deemed necessary that he produce a second book, Model Railways Explained (Beyond the Beginning), which enhances the first while covering new, unique topics.
