LRPRESSE's opinion:
"The Degulbeef and Cradding Railroad is a fictional mining and logging line in America in the Roaring Twenties. It is the story of this network in Sn3 that is told in minute detail by its author. But this book is also largely autobiographical, with the first four chapters presenting Alexandre Zelkine's modelling career. The last 100 pages are a real goldmine, presenting all the author's techniques and tricks of the trade, from the supporting structure to the tools used. An absolutely fascinating book that is an easy and enjoyable read."
