(in The Modeller's World Series) by Phillip Vaughan Williams, published by Traplet Publications. "This book is the first that I have ever seen that deals with the subject. I find it clearly written, well illustrated and quite complete. The energy required to research all the far flung sources and to write this book must have been immense, and despite it being an affordable paperback, its quality and uniqueness in covering this subject makes it a classic in my library. As a disinterested third party I recommend it without reservation; absolutely everyone attracted to this field should read it." Philip Roberts, owner of Steel, Chapman & Hutchinson Ltd.
