Customer Reviews
OK , but... - Rated The title suffers from some basic editing blunders. For example, a major layout drawing has signals and junctions labelled with numerals but it is referred to repeatedly over a page of text as if it were labelled using alphabetic characters. The author's covererage of several topics is haphazard. The approach in these cases could be summarized as: "Here are some railway photos of the steam era that illustrate this topic. Note X and Y. Consider employing X and Y in your model of this era to replicate genuine railway operations." A steam-era must for your bookshelf - Rated I came to railway modelling with an interest in the present day railway, and only bought this book out of curiosity. Having read it, I am a convert to the steam age with its operating practices and variety of trains. This book mostly deals with railway operations in the post-grouping steam era and is biased towards the Midland, LMS and BR(M) territory and methods. There is information on prototypical track, signalling, train formations, operations, train driving and much more. If you want prototypical steam era layout, then this book will help you get there.
