Hello,

Me and my friend Rainer just finished after 3 years a 350 page book about our gardenrails in Dutch.
Based on this book i am now in the process of translating the book into the English language.
I just finished my first translation into English language and now i am looking for help from one or more native English speakers
with the know-how of the language but also especially the knowledge of model trains related English expressions.
It is a lot of text so I suggest that I provide a limited number of pages to anyone who is willing to help me.

If you can help me please send me a mail at glm@vanderschrieck.nl and i will send you a number of pages.

Who can help me?

No set time yet since i need to have it to be corrected first by native English speaking friends in here.
May you can help me with filling in my list of UK and USA expressions?
I 'll try to send it to you with this reaction as a pdf file.
If you mail me your email i can send you the spreadsheet file you can fill in
