Toy Trains: A History - Hardcover
The toy train collecting market has experienced enormous growth and toy trains are now among the most popular and sought-after collectibles on both sides of the Atlantic. The chronologically ordered sections of this book cover over a hundred years - from 1840 to 1955. The illustrations are also grouped by date to allow easy visual appreciation of stylistic and technological developments and changes, and this historical arrangement of text and pictures allows swift and straightforward reference when dating objects. Numerous individual trains from all periods and makers are illustrated, and, even if a collector's specific items are not shown, they can be quickly related to similar objects that are, and thus broadly identified and dated. The comprehensive captions to the illustrations identify and give the name, maker and date. Important stylistic and technological features are noted and comments on points of special interest are included. The captions also identify the item's price group.
