In the sailing era First Rates were the largest most powerful & most costly ships to construct maintain & operate.

This means that virtually every British First Rate from the Prince Royal of 1610 to the end of sail is represented by an array of paintings drawings models or plans.

First Steps in Railway Modelling: The Bachmann Way is based on the late Cyril Freezer's popular guide First Steps in Railway Modelling which was first published in 1988 & provided a completely practical guide to starting out as a newcomer to railway modelling. As one would expect from the former editor of the magazine Railway Modeller his book is a brilliant first steps guide to all the many complexities of the hobby from baseboard construction planning & laying out the track to creating realistic scenery plus a whole host of topics essential to the beginner at railway modelling. Although more than 20 years old the book remains as relevant today as it was when it was first published & is now being reprinted with a new chapter on the one major area of omission from the original; the arrival of Digital Control Command (DCC) which has rapidly become the standard on model railway layouts. Apart from the new section giving practical advice on implementing DCC there is additional material on weathering & track plans & a significant number of images in the main section of the book will be replaced & updated & the usefulness of the book will be hugely increased by the introduction of colour for the first time. A brilliant buy for all those wanting a practical hands on how-to guide to the subject. ...

First Rider's Call

Karigan may have heard the First Rider's call but she's not about to let it take over her life.. .or at least that's what she thinks. She swore to complete a dying man's mission - to deliver a sealed letter to King Zachary. Now that task more dangerous than she could have imagined is complete and her work is done Karigan wants to leave the dangerous world of tainted magic and ancient magicians behind her and return home. Exhausted in both body and spirit she plans to return to her quiet life and her father's business. But it proves no match for the Rider's call; ghostly hoofbeats sounding in her mind visions of the freedom of the open road all calling her back to the king's service as a Green Rider. Karigan resists it but when she wakes up to find herself - in her nightdress - on horseback
and halfway across the country her destiny is clear: she is a Green Rider. As she discovers it's not a good time to be called to serve. For a thousand years the D'Yer Wall a physical and magical barrier protecting the land from the ancient corrupted Blackveil Forest has held. For a thousand years the forest an arboreal prison containing one of Sacoridia's greatest enemies has been quiet. Not any more. The wall has been breached unnatural lethal creatures are finding their way into Sacoridia a dark sentience is stirring and the Green Rider magic itself is failing. And in the midst of it all Karigan is about to be called to her duty.. .
