Download or read book Detailing and Modifying Ready to Run Locomotives in 00 Gauge written by George Dent and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the twenty years in which Britain's nationalized railway operated mainline steam locomotives, a vast array of individual designs complemented the British Railways 'Standard' machines, built up to 1960. Such was the variety of motive power to be seen on the network that this 'early' period of BR's existence has proved to be the most enduring amongst enthusiasts and modellers. The ready-to-run market has reflected this popularity in terms of models and liveries available off-the-shelf. Despite constantly rising levels of detail, finish and performance, r-t-r models can never cater for every variation in components, equipment or livery that invariably arose within large and long-lived fleets. Nor can they offer particular running numbers and names to satisfy every customer, while older products may also require work to bring them up to the standard of contemporary offerings. Therefore, being able to change factory-applied decals, add period or individual locomotive-specific details, modify a livery or create an authentic weathered finish can prove vital to achieving a heightened sense of realism and individuality within our traction fleets. Aimed at modellers of all abilities and serious model railway enthusiasts, this book gives details of a wide range of techniques, materials and tools and is lavishly illustrated wtih 400 colour photographs.

Download or read book Lighthouse Men Women of the Moor written by James Carron and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-25 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The signalmen and women and stationmasters of Rannoch Moor worked in far-flung, isolated outposts - lighthouses of the land. They tended to the trains passing through Corrour, Rannoch and Gorton, halts on the West Highland Railway and remote beacons for the first Victorian and Edwardian travellers who ventured north into this barren wilderness. In keeping with the lighthouse men of the time, they lived lonely lives, segregated from society, but their roles were vital to the safe and efficient running of the railway. Conditions were both harsh and primitive during the early years. But, when the time came to leave, the last remaining railwaymen and women refused to go, such was their loyalty to the line and to the moor. It was a way of life that intrigued and often mystified passengers as they traversed this bleak back country. This book tells their unique story.
