1969, Revised Edition. Published by Model & Allied Publications, 192 pages, with dustjacket. Contents: The book brings together "Curly" Lawrence's (pen name LBSC) useful advice, hints and tips (he used to submit articles to Model Engineer in the 1920s) on all aspects of model locomotive engineering as originally published in 1929. The 1969 and later editions (edited by Martin Evans) include many illustrations and drawings of "Curly" Lawrence's locomotives; and these have been redrawn and relettered with a larger print size chosen.
