Has this ever been published. If so is there a link?

He has published several books that feature his layout.

 

A train is for life, Just like the real thing, + videos sold at Warley Show. I recall there are others as well.

I have JLTHRT. I enjoyed it, superb photographs, perhaps a little light on written content. The lack of a plan or design drawings frustrated me especially as the text explains just how much design work went into the layout. That initial stage is sometimes more interesting than the early build photographs or at the very least the plans inform the photographs and vice versa.

 

It's not a hugely expensive book and on that basis I'd recommend it.

I think since the books have been out for a while they were being sold cheaply at one time.

Might be worth a look around.

 

Here's the website for the layout:

There was an article in an edition of Railway Modeller.

Yes, its the lack of a track plan, and the ability to work out where each photo was taken on the layout which is most frustrating. THe modelling on display is exquisite, but I'm simply not familiar enough with the prototype.
