Some of the buildings covered include-minor buildings weigh bridges plate-layer huts cattle docks Lavishly illustrated with diagrams and photographs of models and the prototype, this book will convince any railway modeller of the necessity of incorporating lineside buildings to their models. A must-have for all keen railway modellers, regardless of scale or era.
