Also, some books are out of print - and not likely to be reprinted any time soon - or not available in the UK.<br /><br />The web can also come in useful if I'm trying to identify projects (or leads) which might be worth following up.<br /><br />To be honest, although I've found the web useful for all these reasons (with an ongoing model railway scratchbuild project), I'd still like it if more of the information I'd encountered were to appear in printHuw Griffithsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-74212413589338668542015-12-20T08:04:35.878+00:002015-12-20T08:04:35.878+00:00Books are like old friends and can never be replac...Books are like old friends and can never be replaced by the web.
