"Want to build a model railway but don't know where to start?" Start here...

Presenter Ian Morton is a regular contributor to Hornby Magazine and has a number of model railway books to his credit.

Using ready-to-run trains and other ready-to-use models along with materials available from DIY stores, Ian shows how you can build a satisfying layout without any special tools or skills. All aspects from building the baseboard to scenery and basic operation are covered.

Ian explains how to lay the track, connect it up and make it look more realistic. He shows how to create hills, roads and greenery to provide a scenic setting for your trains. With the addition of a backscene and detail items the layout is then transformed into a realistic scene.

The disc also includes two "pdf" files to be read on your home computer. These will give you even more details and in-depth coverage of the topics. They explain how you can operate trains realistically. and also show the construction of a second layout.

This DVD does not assume any prior knowledge and makes a perfect introduction to the fascinating and rewarding hobby of railway modelling.

Important: Resolution = 768 x 576. However, I have encoded these from 8GB to a reasonable uploading size, so there will be the odd loss of definition here and there.
I used the H265 format, so if you have difficulty playing this file I suggest you download a media player like VLC.
