I like, at least a lot more lately, wagons, and have wanted to model some in HO scale for a while now, and one I saw in St. Charles MS lately has spured my desire more. I bought this book to give me ideas on different types I can model, and all the pictures, bar a very few, are drawings, which helps more because you can see the details better than an old late 19th century photo. These are wagons from Bristol England, so if you are interested in US ones, this one may not be for you, but I like all types. The drawings are clear and crisp, has brief descriptions of each, as well as main dimensions, a big help for me. I even like just looking at the wide variety of different wagons, as the subject is quite an interesting one. Well worth what I spent on it. A larger assortment of wagons than one would think there are.
