1998 blue softcover in very good condition, some wear to covers, no marks inside. US media mail for shipping. Complete prototype descriptions and modeling tips will help any modeler explore this dynamic trend. Railroads, both prototype and model, have witnessed a dramatic revolution in the way they carry freight. The expansive 53-foot trailers and uniform containerized loads that now ride the rails are the result of changes that began in the late 1800s, when farmers' wagons were first chained onto flatcars. Jeff Wilson's must-have book uses detailed photographs and illustrations to explain this dynamic aspect of railroading. Includes an up-to-date history of intermodal equipment and operations. Features insightful photos and descriptions of phototype intermodal railcars, loads, and yard equipment. Presents well-illustrated tips, techniques, and instructions for modeling intermodal transportation on a layout of any scale. Provides a list of available HO and N scale intermodal equipment., Kalmbach Publishing Company, 1998, 3, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia: Australian Railway Historical Society (SA), 1968. Book. Good. Soft cover. 1st Edition. 40 pages b/w photos - The first South Australian Railways 700 Class locomotives were built during the mid 1920s in Great Britain by the Armstrong Whitworth Company and were used as main line freight locomotives, releasing the aged small power Rx-class fleet for shunting and branch line services. The difference in power between these two classes can be gauged by the fact that a 700 could lift 390 tons over Mt Lofty while an Rx could manage only 190 tons. The 700-class Mikado type locomotive proved so successful that another ten were ordered, this time from the SAR's own Islington Workshops. Though dimensionally similar to the original engines they differed in some minor details and as a result were classified 710. Unfortunately the Mikado fleet were all sent to the breakers yard for scrap metal during the 1960s. One example of the Class survives as a static exhibit at the National Railway Museum at Port Adelaide.., Australian Railway Historical Society (SA), 1968, 2.5, Penryn, Cornwall, UK: Atlantic Books.
