I was fortunate to receive a pre-publication review copy of The Middletown and Unionville Railroad, but, having spent several pleasant hours with it, I would have gladly paid for it. Some consideration is given to developments by countries such as Sweden, Switzerland, Czecheslovakia, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, and Japan. But I guess you can't have everything In one book. I needed this because I knew nothing about putting and mixing decors together and the book did not fail me.
