A fascinating look into the early examples of tin plate model railways, beginning with the first toy railways exhibited at a Spring Fair in Leipzig. Author Udo Becher discusses the development of design and production, illustrating many of the models with pictures of his own collection. Richly illustrated throughout with coloured photographs and line drawings, this first edition copy is a nice , tight clean copy in super condition. The book has its original, pictorial dust wrapper which is protected by a clear, removable plastic cover. This book is still housed in its original cardboard slipcase.
