Build Your Own Stephenson's Rocket (Build Your Own series) - Complete with All Model Sheets, Like New Author: Nick Constable (text) Model Engineering / Illustrator: David Woodroffe Publisher: Parragon (Siena imprint) Publication Date: 1994 (first edition / early reprint) ISBN-10: 1858134587 ISBN-13: 9781858134581 Format: Large format paperback, 32 pages + multiple full-colour and b/w cut-out cardstock model sheets Condition: Like New / Near Fine (see detailed description below) Open this book and discover everything you need to create a magnificent, no-fuss paper model of Stephenson's Rocket - the most famous steam locomotive in the world! This delightful Parragon "Build Your Own" activity book combines engaging historical text with precise, step-by-step instructions and beautifully printed cut-out sheets for a rewarding hands-on project suitable for older children, model enthusiasts, and adults alike. Nick Constable provides clear, accessible text covering the history of early railways, the development of steam power, the Rainhill Trials of 1829, Robert Stephenson's engineering innovations, and the lasting impact of the Rocket. The book includes fascinating illustrated chapters on "The Early Railways," "The Launch of the Rocket," "The Life of Robert Stephenson," technical specifications (driving wheel diameter, boiler dimensions, working pressure, weight, livery, etc.), diagrams of steam engine parts, railway signalling, carriages, navvies, and more. It features numerous black-and-white line drawings, historical illustrations, maps (e.g., Liverpool and Manchester Railway route), portraits, and detailed technical schematics. David Woodroffe's model engineering delivers precise, full-colour and monochrome cut-out sheets with numbered parts (wheels, boiler, chassis, tender, barrel, etc.), complete with scoring/folding lines, tabs, and assembly diagrams. The instructions are comprehensive: tools needed (scissors, craft knife, glue, ruler), general tips, step-by-step numbered stages with illustrations, and guidance on scoring, folding, and gluing for best results. The finished model is a striking, three-dimensional replica of the Rocket with tender. This 1994 edition matches the classic green "camouflage" patterned covers: front with vibrant colour illustration of the locomotive on tracks with engineer; back with promotional text, completed model photo on blue background, series list (Farmyard, Human Skeleton, Steam Locomotive, Viking Ship, etc.), and barcode (SPC 256 9307).
