Hey Mike, what are the contents of each of these books? I'm not familiar with what they offer.

Thanks

A little locomotive with 4 wheels on the track is a lot more fun
than a 1/2 finished one with 16 wheels on the bench!

Mike I am interested in the 1/2 Hudson Northern book. I have a complete set of castings partially machined by Little Engines. The book I have is for the 3/4 scale engines. If you decide to reprint the 1/2 scale books I will purchase a copy.

print on demand for 1/4" 1/2" and 3/4" scale books

Post by Andy R »

Instead of laying out the $ for printing and having to keep inventory, Consider "print on demand".
I have purchased a few books that way and they turned out nice (softbound).
And they are a bargain for both buyer and publisher.
