Given the efforts modellers put into locomotives, rolling stock, buildings and other parts of layouts, it is a little surprising that signals rarely get the same treatment. Granted they do tend to be small and very fiddly, but as the author of this masterly tome shows, the techniques for modelling them are relatively straightforward. As well as showing how to model them, the author, himself a signals engineer, takes you on a whistle stop (ha!) look at all types of British semaphore signal. 108 beautifully produced pages with 100s of B&W and colour illustrations and drawings. paperback.
