This book comprises a long series of articles on building model locomotives that appeared in The Model Railway Constructor from 1947 to 1951. The articles covered practically every facet of the subject and applied equally to all the smaller scales used by the model railway enthusiast, although the larger scales as used by the live steam enthusiast and the model engineer were not forgotten and many of the constructional details have proved to be of use - not to mention the dimensioned drawings. These articles were, and are, regarded by many people as a standard reference work that has been unsurpassed for detail, written in a humorous and easily assimilated style. So much of what was written at that time is still valid today, and as the original issues of the magazine have long since been out of print, it is felt that there is a demand for the present volume to encompass, between two covers, all the articles including the drawings and discussions. The book covers the whole field of building scale model locomotives, and though giving prominence to 4mm and 7mm models (OO and O gauges), the techniques described and the drawings featured are equally applicable to the larger scales, whether the motive power be by live steam or electric motor. The volume contains many unique fully-dimensioned drawings such as the range of GWR chimneys, and drawings and full descriptions of the workings of various types of valve gear. Photographs of finished models are included.
