a book providing good Scottish model scenery ideas


This recent title provides an enthusiast's slideshow of different steam hauled excursion trains through the lovely Scottish landscape (and that is pretty much it; few of the photos have captions) and while clearly intended for the steam fan, the thought that occurred while flicking through it that there are some great pics for the scenery modeller, as several scenes are taken with different camera angles as the train approached or departed.  For those who want to be strictly authentic, landscape particularities of this part of the world are fairly region specific, although Scottish scenery could easily pass for that of Norway and, at a stretch, Sweden.

Although there are quite a few photos that we would have culled if it had been our book, all are very well reproduced; 164 pages (apparently: there are no page numbers either), softcover.
