Decorative Cloth. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. The writer began his professional and journalistic work in connection with model locomotive engineering nearly twenty years ago. His early book on Steam Models, published at a time when the making of a satisfactory working model had only just become general, has long been out of print, and may be considered to have performed a service to the model engineering craft in that it pointed out the likely methods of obtaining success. In writing the present work, which aims at presenting a comprehensive survey of the whole subject, it has been possible to illustrate numerous types of locomotives by reproducing photographs of actual models, most of these models having been amateur-made. This fact alone shows the interest taken in the subject, and the author appreicates the compliment such model work pays to the many hundreds of designs prepared by him during the past twenty years for both home-workers and model-making firms. Owing to the immensity of the subject and to the enormous amount of detail involved in the construction of a working model locomotives, it has not been possible to include many complete designs in this volume. No date, but probably 1930s. Illustrated. Very slight foxing to inside covers.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.
