Jeff Wilson's Modeling Structures question

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Hi all. I have Jeff’s ‘Basic Structure Modeling’ (2005) book, and am wondering if the ‘Modeling Structures’ book (2016) is just a re-issue of the 1st book.

I can’t find any info other that general descriptions anywhere online, and don’t want to order it if it is a re-issue.

Thanks.

I just got Jeff’s new book. It’s definitely not the older book updated. While he covers many of the same modeling techniques (since how much can they change?) I think all of the structures in it are entirely new. Plus, he covers things that have changed since the first book, such as the discontinuation of some paints, printing your own decals, etc.

I think it is a great supplement to the first book. Of course, I am a little biased since he uses some of our products, but I’ve always liked Jeff’s work and it gives us a chance to see some of his more recent projects.

That’s good to know- the new book is fresh info, and it will be on my “get list”. I have several of Jeff’s books and constantly refer to them.

He writes well and is a great asset to the model railroading community.

Thanks Jim.

Have a couple of UK modeling books to buy, but Jeff’s will be my next buy after those. I’m sure it will supplement the earlier book very nicely.
