Listing every TOPS class of diesel from 01 to 99, you get a potted history along with a list of modelling options. That's 58 histories, all written by me and then checked by someone else. On top of this I build an 01, detail 02 options, build and 07 and Class 13 and weather a 15. There's stuff on preserved diesels, short trains and prototype locos.
180 A4 full colour pages long, it contains 223 prototype photos (Mix of B&W and colour) and 139 shots of models both complete and under construction.
Worth £9.99 of anyones money. Especially since it contains an voucher for £10 off orders from ModelFair, so even if you don't like it, you can buy a loco or something and get your money back!
Can't be bothered to go in to town? Well order on-line then. Come on, no excuses!
I hope it does well, Phil. It's sure to be well written and full of good stuff. I'm sorry I won't be buying it as I can't muster up much enthusiasm for BR frothboxes, but in my defence I normally look out for your other writings!
ReplyDeletePity there's probably not enough of a market for a similar Parker Publication about Industrial Steam...or is there?
Well, several people have suggested possible follow-ups and Industrial locos is a definite posibility. We'll see how this one sells first though.
ReplyDeleteIndustrial locomotives--yes, please!
