About this title

Synopsis

The latest welcome addition to this successful Midland series will be of particular interest to the railway modeller as it examines many of those often overlooked aspects of the traditional railway scene, which were once so commonplace that they were barely noted, until they were gone. The term 'railway infrastructure' in the context of this book has the broadest interpretation. The more obvious elements are features such as bridges, level crossings, tunnels, stations, train sheds and trackwork. However, many other aspects of the railway and its environs will be covered, including features such as lineside fencing, water columns, fire devils, gas and oil lamps, signal and point rodding and building interiors. The book's colour pictures, as well as providing a very useful reference source for modellers, will bring back many memories and remind us just how many features of the railway environment have changed over the years.
