As Editor of Model Engineer author Martin Evans has enjoyed the fullest opportunities of studying the growth of outdoor model railways in the post-war years. As steam has ceased to provide full-size transportation (except by the preservation societies) so have amateurs developed club, garden, and in many cases park, permanent tracks on which to operate their miniature locomotives and rolling stock. Here for the first time is assembled a truly remarkable collection of pictures of such activities, together with an expert text dealing with the construction, operation and development os such little railways. Every aspect is covered expertly from siting and layout, track, foundations, bridges and tunnels, stations and station buildings, through to such things as signalling, rolling stock, passenger carrying and passenger cars and finally on to the important club angle of public liability.
