book is printed on a very nice coated stock and hardbound in China. A beau- tiful cover painting by Gil Bennett of RGS No. 455 is a very appropriate complement to this attractively pre- sented book. Of course the RGS is a prime subject
for modeling and many people have succumbed to narrow gauge fever. The RGS had all the elements to make it one of the most outstanding subjects for a railroad modeling project: unusu- al and varied locomotives, vintage work equipment, aging rolling stock, picturesque railroad structures, huge wooden trestles, the famous Galloping Geese railcars, mines, mills, and some of the most beautiful mountain scenery on the continent. It is popular enough that locomotives, cars, equipment and structures are available from a variety of manufacturers in nearly all scales, making it possible to model convinc- ingly without having to scratchbuild everything. Plenty of modeling chal- lenges remain of course. This is a delightful book that I’m
very pleased to add to my collection, and one every narrow gauge modeler, photographer, or devotee will savor. This book stands alone from the two previous books in this set, so don’t hes- itate to buy just one, but I do recom- mend that you get all three if you can. –ROBERT D. TURNER
