With the dramatic revival of railfreight traffic on Britain’s railways comes a corresponding rise in interest in modelling the modern freight wagon as a logical companion to the locomotive.

This guide has been compiled from years of research to offer detailed information about the prototype, modelling technique and features projects to pull it all together. Many popular ready to run models get the treatment, whilst the surge in new kits for anything from a bogie to large and complex wagons adds an extra dimension.

Advice on materials, tools, kits, base models, detailing kits and assembly methods is offered in a pragmatic menu style supported by photographs of the prototype, step by step modelling and finishing techniques.

An indispensable guide for the active modeller and enthusiast, beginner and expert alike: don’t let it stray far from the modelling table...
