New book on garden railway buildings

[yb281]

At the time of his untimely death in 2009, Peter Jones was working on a book about building model buildings for garden railways. This has now been completed by his daughter Kes. I haven't seen it, but I'd put money on it being worth every penny - certainly top of my wants list.

Looks promising. Definitely be one on my list.

Like the look of the building model steam engines book too, always fancied a crack at that.

Who needs a list? I've bought it (note- £5 off when ordered from the website). I'll let you know what it's like when it arrives.

That's great that his daughter has finshed it off. You'll enjoy it Mel and get ideas, but I am not sure you have that much to learn on this subject, you could write a book your self lol.....

Always things to learn Ian.

Thing is though mate I've not really got much room for many more buildings - if only I was re-building part of the garden!

It looks like a great book to get. I loved his article on the steelworks that he created in 'Garden Railway' magazine. I recently got the Kalmbach 'Building Structures for your Garden Railway' which has some good methods and ideas. The Peter Jones book would sit very nicely alongside the Kalmbach edition I think....mmmmm...just off to drop a few hints I think

Just a word of warning Don. I've been talking with Kes and Amazon's release date (22nd August) is over optimistic. Apparently the true date is more likely to be the end of September.

Thanks Mel - it'll give me an excuse to feign innocence to SWMBO when it eventtually arrives

S'funny - I started my christmas list yesterday. Garret, mallet, saxon meyer, Massoth 1200Z - you know the sort of thing. Add a book to it - I might get that!

Mmmmm, future Pendlebury??

 

[Don Gilham]

Now I wonder how the list will compare to reality - have to use the Relations-Dictionary, here we are......

Garret = socks
Mallet = handerchieves
Saxon Meyer = jumper
Massoth = aftershave (of a particularly nasty kind)

Can't find the book......

For those interested - I've just been in contact with the publishers of this book and it arrived in stock yesterday. If you've got one on back order, you should be getting an email very soon to say it's on it's way.

My copy arrived yesterday. In a word - BRILLIANT!

The Pola Reichenbach Station to Tudor Market Hall conversion is awesome.
