| Publisher Description: This vintage book is a complete and beginner-friendly guide to making model electric railways. Beautifully illustrated and full of handy tips and simple instructions, this volume is highly recommended for modern model train enthusiasts, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Advantages of Electrification", "Model Electric Locomotives", "Miniature Systems", "Power Supply Systems", "Ten Practical Designs", "Electric Tracks", "Signal and Point Operation", "Lighting", and "Train Control Systems". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on building models. "Model Electric Railway Making" was first published in 1934. |
