I did wave this under the noses of the Zoom attendees last night but never really got the chance to speak of it. It is a most useful reference handbook and well worth the dosh.

To think, I spent all this week working on an Excel list of all the N gauge locomotives, carriages and wagons, both RTR and kits, that I could find in RMs from 1970 to 1989! Still, it did keep me occupied.

From their publicity wagon is going to follow later in the year!!
However, there will always be a few gremlins creeping in. I found one in the Spotters Guide to Locos.

Thanks for the post Mike. Looks like a useful publication and well worth the money.

I often refer to http://www.ngauge.org/index.php (http://www.ngauge.org/index.php) but that site only covers diesels.

If you want to find details of the real thing on line then this is useful - https://www.brdatabase.info/ (https://www.brdatabase.info/)

I use both sites frequently. The ngauge.org one is particularly useful for rolling stock as much survived from steam into the diesel age
