Noted modeler Cody Grivno shows how to keep rolling stock and locomotives operating well. Cody also explains how prototype locomotives, freight cars, and passenger cars evolved from the steam era through today, providing a guide for which models are appropriate for various eras. You'll also find information on how models have evolved, with tips on tools and materials, basic repair techniques, and digital upgrades such as decoders and sound units."--Page 4 of cover.
