This is the second in a new series for modellers by Ian Allan Publishing. Last time we looked at the DCC revolution and now, having decided the system we want to operate, we look at the subject of baseboards. Again, decisions have to be made and Ian Morton helps you to make them. There are copious coloured pictures and drawings to show you different ways of building the layout according to the baseboard type you choose. It includes the structures required for inclines and takes you through the essentials in making your layout sectional and portable. There is even a layout set into a table with toughened glass covering it so that you can operate your trains while eating your meal!
