Although the ultimate goal of the railway modeller is to recreate some aspect of railway operation this is perhaps the least understood aspect of the hobby. In Passenger Train Operation for the Railway Modeller, Bob Essery, one of Britain's foremost experts on railway operations and modelling, takes the mystery out of the subject. In it he examines, in depth, the nature of passenger service operation, providing not only a general introduction to the subject but also a guide for modellers that explains for the first time how to accurately represent the operations of the full-scale railway. Individual chapters look at the development of passenger trains, train formations and working practices, non-passenger coaching stock, locomotive types developed specifically for passenger services and station design. The author's informed text, based around his own detailed knowledge of the industry and of years of railway modelling experience, is supplemented by instructive photographs, many from Grouping era or earlier, and line drawings.
Comprehensive in its coverage, Passenger Train Operation for the Railway Modeller is an indispensable reference work on the subject of passenger traffic for railway historians and modellers alike.
