Bought myself a new (old) train book by Gustav Reder. It's a massive tome of 300+ pages on the history of steam locomotives and unlike others that concentrate on US prototype this covers much of Europe which is rare in an English language book. For once I can leave my German dictionary on the shelf.

Ordered some more books from a company in Germany that's new to me...

I pretty much stick to Kibri, Faller and Volmer depending on who has the building I want. Of the three I probably have less of the Volmer just because the subject matter does not always fit thought the kits themselves are probably the best. I'm building a walled town and for that it's mainly Kibri and Faller.

Oh and got some books as well:

Faller and Kibri seem to fit well together. Volmer is good for the odd "showcase" building. Of course that's only my opinion though since I model in German prototype I have made dozens of these kits. The Volmer are the nicest to put together but sometimes they seem smaller than the others.

I'll have to check those bulbs out.
