Very impressive! If anyone is wondering whether to click a link for a spamvert-ridden newspaper site, just this once it's worth it 8)

Thanks for posting this!

I have been a huge fan of this layout ever since I saw it in MRJ  more years ago than I care to remember.

It influenced me immensely, and I've based my own layout on a lot of his ideas.  :thumbsup:

The great thing about it is that it uses Peco coarse track from the day,  yet MRJ was impressed enough by the quality of the modelling to include it in the magazine.

It looks like the book is a print on demand one on Amazon. I was able to order it directly from Amazon Spain :) (very handy for those of us outside the UK)
