Book Synopsis Modelling Narrow Gauge Railways in Small Scales by : Chris Ford
Download or read book Modelling Narrow Gauge Railways in Small Scales written by Chris Ford and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2015-05-31 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable book is essential reading for all those who wish to build a small, narrow gauge model railway layout to a high standard. Comprehensive in its coverage, the book begins with a useful summary of the history and development of narrow gauge railways in the British Isles, and this is followed by a detailed, but easily digestible, consideration of the complex and wide choice of scales available to the modeller. In subsequent chapters, the author covers all aspects of construction, including materials and tools, skills and techniques, layout design, laying the track, scenic modelling, painting, soldering and wiring, as well as the construction of narrow gauge stock and appropriate buildings. The author provides clear, step-by-step instructions and photographs to show the reader how to build a straightforward narrow gauge model of a fictitious late 19th to early 20th century light railway in 4mm scale on 9mm track. He also suggests how the methods he has used can be adapted to other scales and briefly explains, by way of example, how they can be transferred directly to 7mm scale. Fully illustrated with 223 colour photographs and also included are several working sketches.
Book Synopsis Modelling Signal Boxes for Railway Layouts by : Terry Booker
Download or read book Modelling Signal Boxes for Railway Layouts written by Terry Booker and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is hard to imagine a model railway layout without a signal box somewhere along the line. They were, after all, the most numerous of the steam-era buildings, and some were almost as old as the railways themselves, dating back to the mid-1800s. With the increased availability of signal box kits and ready-to-site versions, this book provides an invaluable and timely guide to just which box is right for your layout. More than twenty model signal boxes are featured in actual layout locations in the book along with forty kits and projects from Alphagraphix and Bilteezi to the latest in downloads and laser-cut kits, specially constructed with detailed and illustrated step-by-step instructions. Tips, hints and useful advice on tools and adhesives is offered along with how to scratch-build your own signal boxes using different methods and materials. Superbly illustrated with 425 colour and black & white photographs.
Download or read book Irish Railways written by Tom Ferris and published by Gill. This book was released on 2009 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first passenger railway in Ireland, the Dublin & Kingstown, opened for business in 1834. From modest beginnings, the railway network expanded over the next 70 years into almost every part of the country. At its greatest extent, the national network consisted of just under 3,500 route miles of track. This era of expansion was followed by an equally long period of decline which was sparked by the partition of the country, the inexorable rise of the internal combustion engine and the economic problems of the interwar years. It was only towards the end of the twentieth century that the fortunes of the railways at last began to recover. Irish Railways, written by one of the leading historians of Ireland's railways, provides many insights into the social and economic effects of the railways. This is a story rich in human interest, a tale of triumph and tragedy, superb achievement and monumental incompetence, which will appeal to all who have even a passing interest in this most romantic of human inventions.

Book excerpt: "This new addition to the Aspects of Modelling series looks deeper into the scenery of railways and outlines Lineside buildings. This latest volume uncovers step by step instructions on the construction of some of the lineside buildings which feature in railway environment through to the 1970s and should therefore be included in railway models. Some of the buildings covered include: minor buildings, weigh bridges, plate-layer huts, cattle docks. Lavishly illustrated with diagrams and photographs of models and the prototype, this book will convince any railway modeller of the necessity of incorporating lineside buildings to their models. A must-have for all keen railway modellers, regardless of scale or era."--Publisher description.

Book Synopsis Euston - A history and modelling the 1875 station by : David Ashwood
Download or read book Euston - A history and modelling the 1875 station written by David Ashwood and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2024-08-30 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Euston Station was the first intercity railway gateway for London and with the famed Doric Arch became a major landmark of that city. Initially built for the London and Birmingham Railway, it became the terminus of the LNWR Premier Line, then HQ of the London Midland and Scottish. The controversial 1960’s demolition of the site stimulated the building preservation movement. Latterly we have a challenging on / off love affair with the area through the High Speed Two project. This book contains both a background history of Euston and its environs, combined with a modellers review of building a ‘OO’ gauge mid Victorian station complex. A core model of the old station was kindly donated to the Market Deeping Model Railway Club (MDMRC) following the sad act of vandalism of their model railway show in 2019. This in turn served as a stimulus to expand, detail and research during the Covid isolation and lockdown years. This book is the end result of these endeavours. We use the model to underpin the history and allow a geographical walkthrough of the site, plus hints, tips and techniques on building a landmark model. It has been an enjoyable and eye opening challenge to unveil the story under, through and over Euston. Written and contributed to by members of the MDMRC, all royalties will go the club.
