Passenger Train Operation: For the Railway Modeller

Information on the way the British railway system was operated is not that widely available. This book, which follows on from the author's first more general title on the subject, describes in depth the nature of passenger train operation on Britain's railways. Individual chapters examine the development of passenger trains, working practices and train formations, non-passenger coaching stock which ran on passenger trains, locomotive types developed specifically for passenger services and station design. Its appeal is mainly to the modeler who wants to run his layout in a way similar to the prototype but it also contains much useful information on this often neglected aspect of railway activity, which will appeal to a much wider audience.
