About This Item
Gray fabric covered boards with orange print on the front and spine. Fabric darkened over the spine. Little wear to the fabric. The dust jacket shows substantial wear at all the corners and edges. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked, with many photographs, illustrations, diagrams, and tables. A rare book, harkening back to a lost time. Includes a discussion on model railroading as it was practiced in the 1940s.

About Turtleman Used Books
Opened August 1st of 2022, Turtleman Used Books in Olympia, WA. Address is 108 22nd Ave SW, Olympia, WA 98501. Suite #4. This is a small shop, so some books may only be displayed online, others only displayed in the store. Come on by if you are in town. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost. All of my photographs are of the actual product, taken by my trusty little Kindle Fire. Currently we have about 2900 books offered for sale online, with more being added daily. Check back frequently to see what's new. -----
