The history of a Pullman dining car which carried passengers in luxury to the Channel Ports en route for Paris. Today Orion can be seen preserved at Pecorama where it provides the perfect setting for morning coffees and cream teas. Includes some useful drawings for modellers. 35 pages.

The Beer Heights Light Railway started running trains at Pecorama in 1975 and has kept up a regular summer seasonal service ever since. Thousands of passengers have taken rides and thousands of miles have been covered on what is one of the UK's most unusual and attractive 7¼" narrow gauge lines. This book details the development of the line, civil engineering, locomotives and rolling stock. 64 pages illustrated with many black and white and colour photographs.

Explaining the whole process of building a layout, from the planning and inception stage, right through to adding the final scenic details, and everything in between, this book is the essential guide! With both practical advice and step-by-step articles, every chapter explains each stage with clarity, supported by full colour diagrams and photographs. Although aimed at those new to the hobby, and returnees too, this book will also be a handy reference tool for more experienced modellers.
