British Diesel & Electric Locomotives, 1955
- 2008 The 00 gauge ready-to-run market has changed dramatically over the past decade, with supreme levels of accuracy, detail, finish & mechanical performance now becoming the standard benchmark of all new models. As the hobby continues to blossom, an increasing range of steam, diesel & electric subjects now find themselves in the catalogues of the leading manufacturers. Have the days of super-detailing & repainting our models now gone, or is there still a place for a more 'hands-on' approach to the hobby of railway modelling? Professional model-maker George Dent suggests that even these state of the art models can be enhanced & offers a plethora of ideas & projects to produce some unique & highly detailed miniature locomotives. The book covers prototypes from the beginnings of British Rail's Modernisation Plan up to the present privatised scene & aims to cater for all skill levels.ISBN: 978 1 84797 093 0 192 pages Paperback 246x 189 mm 386 colour photographs
