Scratch-Building Model Railway Tank Locomotives: The Tilbury 4-4-2

by Simon Bolton

This fascinating volume tells you everything you need to know about how to build an 00 gauge Tilbury Tank locomotive or, indeed, any similar type of tank. This new work is a worthy successor to the author's first book, Scratch-Building Model Railway Locomotives, which was short-listed for the Ian Allan Railway Book of the Year Awards in 2014. Containing scale diagrams, step-by-step photos, sketches and specially commissioned artwork, the book celebrates the history of Tilbury Tanks and demonstrates a range of different techniques that will prove invaluable in constructing models of these charismatic little locomotives. If you have not yet taken the plunge and begun scratch-building, or if you want to complement your growing scratch-building skills and knowledge, this is the book for you.

A detailed and insightful look into the world of scratch building model railway locomotives, with plenty of accompanying photos. The work and skill required is impressive and was great seeing the process as a whole, especially for building such a great unique Tank engine.
