| The 4mm Engine A Scratchbuilders Guide | 110pages | Softback |
| Guy Williams | 1988 | £9.95 |
| Temporarily out of print. Artistry in three dimensions, how to scratchbuild 4mm scale locomotive models to any gauge by Guy Williams, locomotive engineer to Pendon. Great Western types predominate and there is much information on and photography of the prototype included. No date for reprint yet as at Nov 2006. | ||
| Etched Locomotive Construction | 78pages | Softback |
| Iain Rice | 1990 | £11.95 |
| Starting with a history and description of the genre, the intrepid Mr Rice takes on the de-mystification of the etched kit. There are lots of useful tips (now I know why my chassis didn't work) and clear and attractive photographs. The book culminates in a detailed blow by blow account of the construction of a "Dukedog" kit - rather you than me! I would say that this is a useful reference on the subject for all scales, despite the author being a predominantly 4mm modeller. |
