Wonderful representation of canal "water" too.......................and look at all the lovely "tut" on the Quayside (lower left corner).
PS Sorry "tut" is a word my dear old Mother (RIP) used to say for "unidentifiable crappy stuff", possibly Kentish in origin?
Pete,
How interesting. My stepfather had a Kentish background, if you consider Bromley to be Kent that is. However, I always thought it was spelt toot, as that was how I heard it pronounced.

Great link, thanks for that. I've got both those books and not to forget the Traction Guidebook by Mike Schafer. Kalmbach (1974)

Diesel Locomotives: The First 50 Years By Louis A. Marre. Kalmbach (1995).
The Steam Locomotive in America by Alfred W. Bruce. Bonanza Books (1952).
The Electric Interurban Railways in America by George W. Hilton & John F. Due (1960).
All of these have informed me, given me pleasure when read and are jolly useful to have to hand.

I'm still working on the plan, but here is a draft in progress.
I'm going to remove the left hand rear track as it is basically inaccessible. I'm also going to simplify the switchbacks as there are too many of them.
More on my new layout here.

Me, I'm looking forward to comparing my Cambrian homebrew with the Bachmann offering in due course.

Gorre and Daphetid Railroad by John Allen
Canandaigo & Southern by John Armstrong
Neither are layouts I would copy, but both are inspirational.

For my birthday I was a lucky girl and got given a 1961 Car Builders Cylopedia.
I also agree that the RPC magazine books (Mooks?) are well worth every penny paid for them.
