One thing that's made me think about how to improve the standard of my narrow gauge modelling is reading Peter Kazer's book Narrow Gauge Railway Modelling which is published by Wild Swan. This book contains some great tips on how to improve realism of a narrow gauge layout, ans has some examples of Peter's layouts. It's well worth buying and reading for anyone trying to create a more realistic narrow gauge layout.
Two things in particular have struck me from reading this... handmade trackwork, and using cast plater to make buildings - the textures and finish achieved on Peter's model of Corris station is fantastic! This is something i really want to try out for PnC and i shall be having a go at this for a building on Dunbracken to act as the test bed. As for track, i've found loads of stuff on that, so that's enough for an entirely separate blog post!
