Modelling Engine Sheds and Motive Power Depots of the Steam Era by Terry Booker
Many railway modellers include an engine shed somewhere on their layout. However, all too often the shed is squeezed into a quite improbable location and is little more than a place to 'park' engines when they are not in use. This well-illustrated and comprehensive book, written by an experienced railway modeller, helps even the beginner to develop a far more realistic approach and to capture the unforgettable grimy but exciting atmosphere of the locomotive shed in the steam era.
Terry Booker has had a lifelong interest in railway modelling. A fervent railway enthusiast in the 1950s, in this book he helps the modeller to recapture in miniature the wonderful sights of those long-since vanished days. Terry provides step-by-step guidance on the construction of both the individual models and the fully detailed diorama settings. He also presents the reader with examples from his own extensive loft-layout, Wessex Lines. This layout has taken over twenty years to build and has featured on video and DVD and on the pages of Railway Modeller and Model Rail.
