This book is a collection of vintage articles on the design and
construction model trains and railways, with information on using
electricity to power signalling systems, engines, ramps, and much more.
Profusely illustrated and full of invaluable tips, this volume is highly
recommended for those with an interest in model engineering, and would
make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature.
Contents include: "Locomotive Notes", "The Gas-Electric", "A Useful
Centring Jig", "Model L.N.W.R. Locomotive", "Electricity From Light",
"Some Suggestions for Model Railway Signalling", "Electric Signals for
Single Lines", "An Electric 'Tell-Tale' for Siding Points", "Shutting
Ramps", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly
scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an
affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned
new introduction on model building.
