I'm delighted to say that Episode 1 of the Build-Along Model Railway is now available on YouTube!
Produced earlier this year in collaboration with BRM Magazine & World Of Railways, this new 4 part series will walk you through the process of building a model railway step-by-step!
If you're a complete beginner or new to the world of model railways, this series will be perfect for you. Each step is shown and explained clearly with many of the products used available directly from World Of Railways at: worldofrailways.hooluh.co.uk
In Episode 1 we cover building laser cut baseboards, laying the track, ballasting points and getting some temporary power in place for testing. If you've always wanted to build a model railway, start here!
