TOOL & CUTTER SHARPENING   Building Model Steam Locomotives   ADVANCED STEAM LOCOMOTIVE DEVELOPMENT by Dant Porta This book arose from correspondence with Dante Porta after we had published the English edition of André Chapelon’s La Locomotive a Vapeur, and the idea of bringing some of Porta’s papers to a much wider audience was irresistible. Porta has always been described as Chapelon’s ‘disciple’, which is certainly true, but was very definitely his own man, with his own ideas. He also worked in a more technologically advanced age, and whilst this inevitably regarded steam as out-moded, it did give Porta access to materials unknown to Chapelon, and different (computer) design techniques, all of which he used to maximum effect. In my opinion, the fact that Porta never worked within the traditional railway company set-up, being an academic by training, gave him much more freedom to adopt a different approach. And finally, of course, Porta taught and encouraged those brave few who continue to work on the concept of advanced steam power. Contained within this book are three of Porta’s papers, one public and two previously circulated privately. Porta himself wished us to publish his paper Fundamentals of the Porta Compound System for Steam Locomotives, and this is the core of the book. However, to give an introduction to much of Porta’s work, and his overall philosophy, we have also included the paper he presented to the Manchester Centre of the Institution of Locomotive Engineers in March 1969 entitled Steam Locomotive Development in Argentina - its contribution to the future of railway technology in the under-developed countries. The third paper is, again, a private one, and deals with the subject of steam leakage.     £9.85 (P&P £ 1.95 ) Qty   BEGINNERS GUIDE TO MODEL STEAM LOCOMOTIVES by Tim Coles The author shows how you can build your own miniature steam locomotive.

Even after that they continued to do ‘top-link’ work with lighter trains. This book covers in detail the building of a 3½" gauge model of this famous prototype. The author, LBSC, is still regarded as the greatest model locomotive designer of his day and this book makes enjoyable and informative reading even if you are not intending to build this particular model since many of the methods shown are applicable to other models.     £12.95 (P&P £ 1.60 ) Qty   MODEL STEAM LOCOMOTIVES by Henry Greenly This is a reprint of the eighth edition of this popular book, first published in 1922.
