The ultimate vintage train book, packed with high quality illustrations (and text) on the great early model train makers.
This book is both an education and a visual delight. No collector, however advanced, will have seen all the trains and accessories pictured. This book has been some 6 years in the making and has around a 1000 specially taken photographs of tin toy trains from their beginnings in the early 19th century up to about 1910, when scale began to dominate over naive charm.
Items have been chosen and photographed by the well-known Dutch collector Paul Klein Schiphorst from European, British and American collections with an emphasis on the unusual, so there are plenty of items by the early German makers Lutz, Rock & Graner, Plank, Sch=F6nner and Parisian makers such as Malt=EAte, Faivre and Tantet & Manon as well as the well known classics by Bing, M=E4rklin and Carette.
