"Model Railroader's Guide to Coal Railroading" Tony Koester

[Kevin Wilson-Smith]

The Model Railroader's Guide to Coal Railroading by Tony Koester is a relatively new book from Kalambach - and a handy reference on coal railroads.

Chapters introduce coal and the coal industry, and cover diverse items such as coaling company towns, industries, coal customers and modeling coal trains plus operating tips.

An enjoyable read, especially as the bulk of the book relates to the “how” of coaling. Recommended.

96 pages; 70 black and white photos; 130 color photos; 20 illustrations.

Available from Amazon.co.uk or locally from the Model train Exchange...
