Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This copy is in fine, unmarked condition bound in black cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in near fine condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. 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. Contents: Foreword; Designing the Locomotive; Requisitioning of Stores; The Tools; The Materials; The Boiler Shop; The Firebox; The Smokebox; Boiler Fittings; Cab Fittings; The Prototype; The Erecting Shop; The Frames; Springs and Axle Boxes; Wheels and Axles; Cranks and Crankpins; Bogies and Pony Trucks; Frames and Running Gear; Locomotive Kits; The GWR Bar Frame Bogie; The Bogie; Pony Trucks; The Cylinders and Valve Gear; The Valve Rod and Link; The Return Crank; Connecting and Coupling Rods; etc Ref BBB 2.
