Book Reviews of The Model Railroader's Guide to Bridges, Trestles & Tunnels (Model Railroader's Guide To...)
Book Review: Bridges, Trestles & Tunnels
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an excellent guide to model railroad bridges, trestles, and tunnels. It presents all types of construction including wood, stone, iron, concrete, etc and all era's from the early 18th century to the present.
Many prototype photographs and illustrations are used to show the different types of bridges. You don't have to be a civil engineer to read the book, but it will give you a very good detailed view of each type of bridge.
Each section in the book ends with information on how to model these structures. This includes construction details including sources for the needed products. Information is also included on how to finish the products.
When I now see a bridge while traveling I have good knowledge of why and how the bridge was constructed.
I am not a modeler (at least yet) but I think this book will appeal to both novices and more experienced modelers. I have two other similar books and this book is by far the best of the three. I highly recommend it.
