Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 009 scale, which is used to represent narrow gauge lines of 2ft to 2ft 6in, is experiencing a steady growth in popularity and trade support. This new book explains issues of scale and gauge for narrow gauge models, considers the origins of 009 scale, and identifies some of its pioneers. It outlines the diverse range of prototype narrow gauge railways in Britain and overseas, along with some of the different traditions and practices adopted in different parts of the world. The book covers: how to select a subject to model based on experience and models available; construction of a compact prototypical 009 layout, its locomotives and rolling stock; control and signalling of layouts; layout maintenance and improvement and the challenges of exhibiting models; how to share experience with like-minded modellers. A comprehensive and informative book, that provides a detailed insight into railway modelling techniques in the 009 scale, and is fully illustrated throughout with 256 colour, 16 black and white photographs and 43 diagrams.

Book excerpt: An extensively illustrated history of this Welsh railway—and the effort to restore it. One of Wales’ oldest narrow gauge railways, the 2ft 3in gauge Corris Railway was built to carry slate from several quarries in the Dulas valley to wharves on the river Dyfi. At first forbidden to use steam locomotives or to carry passengers, it overcame these obstacles and became an essential part of the community that it served. It was also a forerunner in encouraging tourists, offering inclusive tours to nearby Talyllyn, with passengers traveling on the train and on railway-operated road services. Taken over by the Great Western Railway in 1930, the railway was closed by British Railways in 1948, apparently for good. Fortunately, the last two steam locomotives and some rolling stock was saved by the nearby Talyllyn Railway, where it played an essential role in that railway’s preservation. Eventually, the thoughts of enthusiasts turned to reviving the Corris Railway, and, after many twists and turns, the first passengers were carried on a short section in 2002. In this book, historian Peter Johnson has delved into many sources to uncover the intricacies of the railway’s origins, development, operation, and revival.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrow Gauge Railways The object of the paper which I have the honour to submit to the members of this valuable Institute is to discuss the subject of narrow gauge railways, explaining the necessity of their general use, their economy in construction, their utility in certain districts as feeders to through lines, and their adaptation to passenger as well as to general traffic. The introduction of railways on a narrow gauge, and worked by locomotive power, is a growing necessity for opening districts where lines connecting one through line with another are either impracticable or would be so costly as not to justify the outlay required for their construction; also in mountainous and mineral districts, where their application would be the greatest possible boon to the public, and the means of giving to districts railway communication that, on the parliamentary gauge, would be too expensive ever to be made. It is in these latter districts that their application would be especially useful, inasmuch as with narrow gauge lines of 2 ft. 6 in., or from that to 2 ft. 9 in., curves of three or four chains radii can with facility be made, and by this means tunnels, viaducts, and heavy earthworks are avoided which on the broader gauge would be inevitable; and, at the same time, there is no necessity, on short lines of this kind, for any very great amount of speed, which is imperative on through lines.
