A4, glossy card covers, 148 pages, around 350 photographs, drawings and diagrams. Includes a 1:16 modeller's plan of an open-top "Preston car". Expanding on Peter Hammond's original work "An Introduction to Tramway Modelling", this is the definitive guide for large scale modellers. It contains all the information required to build model tramcars in 3/4" scale, with sections on other large scales (1:24, G etc.). As it has valuable details of the way the real tramcars were constructed, it also is extremely useful to modellers in any scale.
