About this title

Synopsis

The newest addition to the hugely successful Aspects of Modelling series provides readers with a comprehensive guide to weathering locomotives and rolling stock. Historically, most proprietary model railway equipment was produced in a pristine condition; however, the reality of the railway industry was that the external condition of most locomotives and rolling stock quickly deteriorated as operation and weather took their toll. Of all the skills associated with railway modeling, weathering is perhaps one of the most difficult. It is very easy to spoil an otherwise beautiful model by the careless application of weathering, making information on the best methods of weathering all the more important. This informative new volume provides the modeler with a guide to the principles and practice of weathering locomotives in particular, and offers a step-by-step guide to the skills involved and the pros and cons of undertaking such work on models. The book includes instructive text alongside over one hundred mono and color illustrations.

Store Description

Wild & Homeless Books has been trading from 12 South Street, Bridport, Dorset since February 2009. The current mismanagement team, who have been involved with the shop pretty much since opening, have been sitting in the big chair since Bastille Day 2016 and now have about 60 years of book trade experience between them in one form or another. The shop itself is situated on two floors of a listed (and listing) building in Bridport's town square and contains a ridiculous number (according to our surveyor) of secondhand books. We try to carry a good general stock and do not specialise as such, although we're on reasonably good ground when it comes to Railways and Cricket. We are also stockists of Wild Swan railway titles, now being published in Bath by Simon Castens, owner of the Titfield Thunderbolt transport bookshop. We are, by and large, open for business Monday to Saturday between 9.30 and 4.30, and are closed Sundays and Bank Holidays. We are occasionally closed due to ill-health, parenting responsibilities, Test Matches, and the phases of the moon. Please check if travelling specifically to visit. All of this rich pageant is watched over by a larger than life-sized print of Audrey Hepburn and a semi-sentient 1950s valve radio called The Behemoth.
