Research

Research can be defined as the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.

The research section of the Bookstall includes a wealth of reference information to help the researcher carry out those investigations and use the gleaned facts to best advantage. Whether you are aiming to write up your conclusions, aiming to build a better model or just plain curious you could well find what you are looking for here.

Some of the material has been published before, especially by the railway industry, and other material has been gathered together by our members and will save you time by not having to repeat the same steps.
