Miniature Passenger Hauling Railways

A first-class book from Paul Carpenter plus some friends, giving hints, tips and guidance on building passenger hauling miniature locomotives, steam and electric, coaches, wagons, and laying track.

In particular there is a long section of 'Analysis by Computer Simulation of twelve published Locomotive Designs', by Simon Bowditch. If you are building one of the designs featured, these are worth the price of the book alone, but are also very useful as instruction to the various computer programmes available for this.

Other chapters cover boiler-making in some detail, and others include making smaller items, such as controls for steam locomotives, super-detailing and so on.

A4 format hardback, 190 beautifully produced pages, full of largely colour photographs, drawings, and tables.

Highly recommended for all railway orientated model engineers.
