The best book available on building live steam model locos.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Model Steam Locomotive: A Complete Treatise on Design and Construction (Paperback)
This is the complete guide to building a live steam model locomotive. Evans, longtime contributor to the renowned British magazine Model Engineer, is the designer of many well-known model steam locos. In this book, he goes through the design and construction issues involved in building model steamers, piece by piece.The book contains many photos of locomotives and drawings of parts and assemblies in all sizes from 0 scale to 1.5 inch scale. Perhaps most gratifying is the fact that Evans writes so clearly and has arranged his material in a logical and organized fashion. You can follow his progress through the subject easily, you can find information later when you need to refer to it, and it all makes sense when you read it. If you want to really understand the workings of a live steam model locomotive, this book is highly recommended. If you are familiar with the terminology and the general workings of a locomotive, you will finish this book with some considerable knowledge of what goes into producing them. If you have a desire to build such a model, the book is almost indispensible. Evans has been there already, and his experience will save you much time and wasted effort.

This is the Model Steam Locomotive Bible,
By Saint (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Model Steam Locomotive: A Complete Treatise on Design and Construction (Paperback)
This book would definately have to be the 'Model Steam Loco Bible'. I found it's layout and step by step description unparalleled from a master in the trade.
This book definately helped my evolution from large scale ship and sub building to a boyhood dream of actually building and operating my own Steam Loco. Gratitude to the writer of this book.................
