Inspiration in book form...

Since becoming more interested in G, LGB in particular, and being taken by the company's more Austrian prototypes I very recently bought this excellent title from the Middleton Press online store (www.middletonpress.co.uk).

Austrian Narrow Gauge (featuring steam in the Alps) by John Organ.

First impressions are good, lovely atmospheric photos, route plans, descriptions and some well written sections. Perhaps a little more on the rack railways than I would like but the title does a good job of covering the narrow gauge (both 760mm and 1m, steam, diesel and electric, old, closed, modern and preserved) lines across the country.

I look forward to a few quiet evenings, coffee, biscuit and my favourite arm chair!
