Summary: only 5 stars because there isn't a higher possible rating
Comment: This book is excellent, bought it to read on holiday and couldn't put it down. It is what it says on the cover, an explanation of freight train operation for the railway modeller. There is a clear focus on the steam age railway.As someone who didn't experience this first hand,and is trying to produce a realistic model this is invaluable.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A useful introduction
Comment: The author provides some interesting examples of freight facilities and some brief suggestions of how they might be modelled. The book is pretty short, but should provide inspiration for further research. It is a pity that the author finds it necessary to dismiss diesel/electric traction - despite their use on identical traffic for at least the last 2 decades covered by the book - and contends "the wisdom of not modelling the post-1968 railway era"!
