Product Description
Product Description
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.

Detailing and Modifying Ready-to-Run Locomotives in 00 Gauge: British Steam Locomotives, 1948-1968
4 Aug 2010
This book is brilliant, it makes no assuptions that you have a wealth of knowledge about steam engines without being patronising. Plenty of colour photos, it takes you through how to get the best out of your engines in easy step by step stages which will build not only skills but give you the confidence to do these things.
All I'd say is if you want to take the first step into a bigger world that will help you get the most out of your locos then buy this book and make that move up the ladder.

Excellent detailing book, one of the best I have

This is an excellent book which covers everything you need to know about detailing British steam locos in the period after Nationalisation. Even if you don't want to get stuck into some of the more complex projects, there is still plenty to learn in here that can help you make your locos different from the ready-to-run versions quickly and without major repainting.
