<p>Well I picked this up at ExpoNG and purely on the pictures alone it is worth every penny. </p><p>First impressions are a quality book with nice paper and lots of big colour photos. The text is chatty and very readable while getting all the ideas across. The pictures are stunning with full use made of different lighting and there are several you would struggle to tell from the prototype save for the familiar models in them. It really captures the modelling and gives the impression of a proper miniature railway.</p><p>I had already got the other Atlantic title with a brief look at it and this fulfills the promise of that taster.</p><p>Slightly hidden away until you sit down to enjoy it is page 84 and a sea of concrete blocks with tracks winding between shows the bare bones of the layout and there are a few line drawings to explain the construction of tunnels.</p><p>If you have enjoyed the previous articles on the Southern Cross then this will be a certain hit, if you've never heard of it beware if you pick it up at a show you will very likely find yourself holding the folding stuff out to the man behind the stall with the other hand. You have been warned
