kirtleypete Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) I have just published a new book. It is available now from Amazon and I will have copies on my Kirtley Model Buildings stand at O gauge shows beginning at Doncaster in June. The book covers the whole process of building a layout, covering planning, baseboards, track laying, DCC wiring, ballasting, turntables, backscenes, platforms, buildings, scenery, detailing, signals, using RTR stock, point rodding, presentation and fiddle yards.

RMweb Premium Ray H Posted April 17, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 17, 2019 Do you have any plans to produce an e-book version? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirtleypete Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) I hadn't thought of doing but it wouldn't be difficult. Leave it with me. Added later: It doesn't look as though I can, the book has a lot of photo's and drawings and none of the formats I would need to save it to are designed for this kind of manuscript.

kirtleypete Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 I have just received my copies of the new book and unfortunately three pictures are missing - I've no idea why, they are present in the proof copy. It looks though I will have to republish it. If anyone has bought a copy they can return it to me and I will replace it when the new version is available; my address is on the back page.

RMweb Premium Ray H Posted April 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 23, 2019 Sorry to hear that. I hope the printer/publisher accepts the error. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirtleypete Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Fortunately I am the publisher/printer and can simply remove this edition from sale and publish a new one, so all should be well. Self publishing where they simply print the books when they are ordered is great because there are no stocks sitting in a warehouse. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirtleypete Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 The corrected book has now been published. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
