Overview

Over the decades railway modellers have made enormous strides in their quest for realism in replicating the age of steam in their models. However, while the quality of rolling stock, scenery and electronics has vastly improved over the years, there is one area where many layouts fall down. This is the manner in which they are operated. This new title sets out to guide modellers away from some basic errors and lead them in the direction of correct operating practices by encouraging them to look to the full size railway for inspiration. This book examines various aspects of steam railway operation and explores how these can be successfully applied to a model railway. among the areas examined are track formations, signalling, traffic patterns, and train make up. These subjects are explored in both the authoritative text and the huge range of photographs which portray both aspects of the steam railway and some of the best examples of the modeller's art. Written by Bob Essery, one of the most respected and innovative exponents of railway modelling, this new book will be sought after by both those seeking a useful introduction to railway operating practice and all those looking for guidance on how these can best be replicated on model railways.
