This involves recreating the whole townscape or countryside through which the railway operated. An essential ingredient in this is the correct range of road vehicles, from trams and trolleybuses in the urban environment through to tractors and other farm vehicles in the countryside. With recent technical advances, it is now possible to see these road vehicles actually in operation. This book takes both the beginner and the more experienced practitioner, through this complex subject. Providing useful information about scale, relevance, operation and much more, it offers all modellers a detailed guide to a subject which can be confusing, but which, if got right, will greatly enhance the appearance and authentic look of any model railway. Profusely illustrated throughout, this new title will be of use to all modellers, irrespective of the scale in which they are working. Contents:
