The NOCH company is famous for its many products regarding model landscaping and in the later years also model houses and a lot of other accessories for your model railway. I like the products very much and I use them a lot. To help their customers use their products, NOCH publishes a guidebook (NOCH #71909) and a DVD (NOCH #71916).
