[modeleng] Christmas Present

Merry Christmas everyone
This years Christmas present to myself was a book by Brian Wilson "Steam
Trains In Your Garden"  For anyone that's interested in the smaller gages
this is a great construction manual. The layout is very similar to Kozo
Hiraoka's book's but with plenty of colour.
Brian Wilson is the author of the very popular "Edwin" construction series
in AME magazine ( I think Tel has built or is building one) The book is a
much updated version of that, using the John Fowler sugar cane loco of 1923
as the prototype.  The basic design can be modified to a Hunslet, Peckett,
or Decauville outline 0-4-4-0 or 0-6-6-0 with either gas or a coal fired
boilers.  I got my copy direct from AME Retail and its available from Camden
Books in the UK.
Hobby Mechanics in Brisbane have it priced the cheapest unless that's a
misprint.
Once again I hope its a very Merry Christmas for everybody.
