I like it.  It has 90% of the Pryke series on scratchbuilding a steam locomotive; something I needed, and didn't have space for all the magazine issues required to get the entire article.

....but that's me.  My thoughts, your choices.

I got it, read it.  I wish it was more about brass and drive train stuff.  For plastic steam projects, it's pretty good.  I learned a lot from it, but for the money I think there should have been more in it.

I've been tepted by their new logging RR book, but it's only 70+ pages.  I'm afraid that I'll be left feeling like there wasn't enough there.  I'd be interested in hearing from someone who has reas that one.

Phil,
I'm not a rocket scientist; they are my students.
