It is often forgotten, particularly in the 21st century when railways are increasingly perceived as primarily a means by which vast numbers of passengers can be transported, that the origins of the railway industry lay in the need to carry the products of Britain's industries from source to market. Freight was the bedrock of the railways' prosperity; if passengers were to be carried, they could only be accommodated when their movement would not conflict with the vastly more profitable freight traffic. How times change! In this new examination of the subject, individual chapters examine the development of freight trains, train formations and working practices, locomotive types developed specifically for freight services and goods yard design. The author's erudite text, based around his own detailed knowledge of the industry and of years of railway modelling experience, is supplemented by a superb selection of photographs and line drawings. Comprehensive in its coverage, Freight Train Operation for the Railway Modeller will become the standard work of reference on the subject for railway historians and modellers alike.
