Thanks all for the advice.

I am looking to buy some reference books to familiarise myself with the 'textbook' approach to 7mm scale locomotive etched brass kit building, having made my first locomotive largely by trail and error using the included instructions.

• I read that "Iain Rice's Etched Chassis Construction from Wild Swan" is worth getting, but the closest title I can find is: "Locomotive kit chassis construction in 4mm" (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Locomotive-kit-Chassis-Construction-4mm/dp/1874103100) . Is this one and the same thing?
• ​Alternatively there's the title "Etched loco construction" also by Rice (http://britishrailwaybooks.co.uk/books/ISBN/090686786x.php),is this what was being referred to?

Any additional advice on suitable literature would be gratefully received.
