Famous Trains More Than Meest the eye,
By B. E. Ruth "Author and Itinerate Colorer" (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Famous Trains (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
When I first opened Famous Trains, I was disappointed. As a long time Model Railroader, I tend to be very detailed oriented. Bruce's treatment ot the various running gears at first disappointedd me. But when I examined the pictures in their total context, I must say that I am very satisfied with the product.
Bruce gives us inside and outside shots of each featured train including some pictures with passengers, adding new challenges to the coloring activity. I use pencils -- mostly Crayola and Rose Art, and one set of pictures can keep me busy for several hours.

This review is from: Famous Trains (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
I bought several Dover Coloring books for my 8 year old son, along with a package of colored pencils. He already draws such detailed pictures of trains and I thought he would appreciate these books.....they did not disappoint.
The coloring books are definitely geared towards older children and are art quality...the kind of drawings I would imagine accompany the design board for a new car or product. My son is probably on the lower end of the age scale because the drawings are very detailed and require a little more advanced dexterity than your average coloring book, but he has already finished one picture and hung it on his wall...and that was the whole point for buying these. I also appreciate the descriptions that appear with the pictures...he and I are learning together about the trains and cars that are featured in the books. If you have a child or young adult who is into cars or trains and also enjoy art I highly recommend these books.
