The first book called KIT BUILDING FOR RAILWAY MODELLERS ROLLING STOCK in summary below:
Most modellers, regardless of what scale they work in, rely heavily on the humble plastic or metal kit, and this book will help both novice and more experienced modellers to achieve the very best results. George Dent presents here a clearly written foundation course in constructing rolling stock from kits. Examines tools, glues and materials Describes how to successfully construct a chassis for wagons and carriages Covers work in plastic, resin, white metal and brass Presents an essential in-depth guide to soldering scratch-building Discusses painting, transfers and weathering AUTHOR: George Dent is a former graphic artist, guitar maker and museum conservator who has been the in-house model-maker at Model Rail magazine since 2004.
The 2nd book KIT BUILDING FOR RAILWAY MODELLERS LOCOMOTIVES AND MULTIPLE UNITS in summary below:
Locomotive kit building remains the best route to achieving a varied range of motive power in most scales but it also retains a mystique, being associated with expert modellers and expensive tools. However, in this invaluable, richly illustrated volume, George Dent demonstrates how anyone can successfully assemble working kits with only a modicum of inexpensive equipment and experience. All aspects of assembly are covered in detail including working in plastics, resin and metal; the very basics of working and joining materials; installing ready-made power units and performing more complex operations, such as assembling etched metal chassis frames and intricate valve gear. Includes a full guide to essential tools, materials and adhesives. Covers the art of soldering. Explains the basics behind chassis construction and alignment. Presents an in-depth guide to the assembly of cylinders, coupling rods and valve gear. Examines a range of power unit and transmission options. Demonstrates how to detail and modify kits for extra realism. Illustrates painting, lining and weathering techniques. Offers tips on running-in, testing and maintaining mechanisms.
The 3rd book MAKING MODEL RAILWAY BUILDINGS in summary below:
This invaluable book is essential reading for all railway modellers, whatever their level of expertise. The author provides an overall understanding of the purpose of making buildings for a model railway and covers their construction, their positioning and how to light them.Topics covered include railway and non-railway buildings, explaining how the latter can also enhance your trains; modelling attitudes, the use of scale, levels of detail and both regional vernacular and railway architecture; ready-made buildings and how you can adapt them to your own particular purposes; different materials available for building structures and ways of choosing, finding, measuring and recording suitable prototypes; step by step construction of a cardboard building kit to illustrate the use of basic modelling tools and to explain essential procedures and techniques; using and modifying 'out-of-the-box' model buildings. Also explores the subtleties of making model railway buildings from scratch without the use of a kit, or anything more than hand-tools and a few sheets of suitable material, giving guidance on the appropriate use of texture and colour, and shows how walls, doors, windows, roofs and chimneys can be created, painted, detailed and finished off. Discusses the many aspects of lighting, including external lighting, such as street and platform lights, and the internal lighting of buildings, the problems they pose and how they can be resolved.
