On a forum recently, someone was bemoaning the pages given over in a magazine to prototype photos. Apparently, these are a waste of space because he can get all the pictures he needs on the Internet.
This is of course, rubbish.
Yes there are a lot of photos on the web but you can't beat having access to a library full of real books. I've been building a wagon kit and needed some end detail. Was there a photo on the web?
No. But I found the information in a book that I paid 6 quid for years ago. There were some really nice shots of the brake gear too.
