Scratch-Building Model Railway Tank Locomotives: The Tilbury 4-4-2

An excellent textbook on model locomotive construction. The author builds two locomotives using different methods; one uses Markits wheels, the other Gibson; one uses a rigid chassis, the other is compensated. This is illustrated by a large number of splendid colour photographs showing each step of scratch-building.

this and its companion book on the J15 0-6-0 are a must for scratch builders techniques are very well described and illustrated usually with photographs

a great companion book to ' scratch building model railway locomotives'. showing further details of the art.

Well illustrated book.

A little too repetitive, not really exploring today's methods - though they were mentioned.

Great to read something from such an expert. I've learned a lot even though I model mainly in gauge 1.

This companion volume builds on the methods and techniques brilliantly conveyed in the original. Top work Mr Bolton!
