| Building a Model Railway - Designing a Layout | 106pages | Softback |
| Barry Norman | 1997 | £12.95 |
| An original and inspiring book on how to design model railways. Drawing on experience gained with projects such as Inkerman Street and North Shields, the author gets right down to basic and useful features of design that can be applied to any model. A good idea are the photocopyable template sections to aid the planning process - an excellent book. On page 10 there is an excellent detailed view of a dairy siding, if anyone knows where the place was I would dearly like to know. The caption reveals no clues to its location although it looks like a Western Region installation to me. |

| Light Railway Layout Designs | 72pages | Softback |
| Iain Rice | 1991 | £8.95 |
| Reprinted in 2000, Iain Rice's classic book on modelling light railways, containing inventive plans and inspiring sketches, all accompanied by photographs of different prototypes and some of the author's super models. A very appealing book, as enjoyable for its light railway content as much as its modelling content. |

| Model Railway Layout Design (Finescale in Small Spaces) | 64pages | Softback |
| Iain Rice | 1990 | £9.95 |
| All sorts of ideas are explored here with practical, objective and down to earth advice on various aspects of the hobby, but all with the theme of "fine scale in small spaces". The author is no mere theoretician as his models amply demonstrate, and he has produced a useful and attractive book. |
