Product Description

Product Description

Celebrating 50 years of one man's passion for railway modelling, this is a beautifully produced photographic portrait of Pete Waterman's fantastic model railway collections, which is packed with brilliant photographs revealing the enormous skill of the model makers.


About the Author

Pete Waterman OBE, probably better known as a hugely successful record producer, is also a dedicated railway enthusiast. He is the owner of significant collections of both historic and commercial railway locomotives and rolling stock, a passion fuelled by his first job at Leamington Spa railway station. In his own words Pete says Whatever I do and wherever I go, you can be sure that not far away will be one of my model railway engines. I am the first to admit, it is an all consuming hobby and one I absolutely adore.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent photo record but disappointing book, 24 Sep 2008
By Holmbank (Shropshire) - See all my reviews
A good publication to look through but more a Catalogue of Model Locos than book Could be called Engines for Life as there are few Trains in it Wonderful photos but no diagrams.layouts or operational history which would make it a more complete story

5.0 out of 5 stars Model Railways, 8 Feb 2009
By Mr. Peter Roberts - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As far as model railway expertise goes this book shows the ultimate. Pete Waterman is an avid railway buff and what a fantastic collection he has built up with these superb models. Most of us mere mortals can only dream at owning such model engines but it is great to see that the art of building such engines is still alive and well in this computer generated age. I can only hope that other younger moddlers are coming up to this standard to keep the hobby going strong.
