Written by an acknowledged expert, this practical book is essential
reading for all those railway modellers who wish to build a bridge
or a viaduct for their layout. This new book contains in-depth
descriptions and photographs of real-life bridges located around
Britain (and one in New Zealand), ranging from the small to the
monumental, from which the modeller can gain ideas and draw
inspiration. As an essential aid to modelling, the constituent
parts of the bridges are described as well as the engineering
principles that make them 'work' and the materials from which they
are built. Step-by-step instructions and photographs depict the
construction in plasticard of five models: a simple girder bridge;
a truss-girder bridge; a masonry arch bridge; a plate-girder
bridge; and a viaduct. Covers prototype research, taking
measurements, modelling materials and tools.
