In Right Tracks 8 and 9, Nigel Burkin dispels the myths surrounding this subject and explains the benefits and practicalities of installing DCC on your layout.

Norman Solomon has an excellent reputation for building and laying trackwork.

In a programme scheduled for launch on the 10th November, Norman and Tony Wright show all you need to know from laying Peco track right through to building junctions using copper clad strip and C & L chairs and sleepers.

Norman then goes on to show how he lays the track bed and ballasts the track for a truly realistic effect.
