There's a couple of really useful books, I found used copies on ABE.com: Modelling the Steam Age Railway C.J. Freezer Patrick Stephens Ltd, 1990 This is a must read for anyone interested in doing British steam. Railway Operation for the Modeller Bob Essery Midland Publishing, 2003 I'd start with Freezer first for a much broader base of details. This is a good follow up with more detailed notes in some areas, particularly signalling. The author gets a little cranky about making things properly 'real', but its a fun read. Actually, Ratio makes a line of working signal semaphores, so it is pretty feasible to add them. Last year, there was a long series of articles on signalling for the layout in British Model Railways that would be worth picking up back issues if you want to get into that. Cheers, Maureen
