Description

No inscriptions or marks. A lovely clean crisp very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Price clipped dust jacket not torn or creased with minor traces of handling. 97pp. The author describes the fascinating transition from the early inventors' development models and instrument makers' patent and exhibition models to the modern commercially produced ones. The book covers the art of model railway engines from 1797 with a large number of illustrations, many in colour from Europe, America and the Far East.
