Railway modellers explore the specialist stock of British Rail era test trains and their experimental roles.

Modelling British Railways: Test Trains is a 116-page guide for railway modellers fascinated by the specialist stock that existed during the British Rail era. Covering the period from the 1970s to the mid-1990s, it looks at the variety of coaches and multiple units that were used to survey the railway network as well as test new locomotives and rolling stock and carry out experiments with new technologies. It explains the roles of track-recording, ultrasonic and overhead line monitoring along with others and shows how to recreate them in miniature. Packed with reference photography, livery details, modelling tips, and formation information, Test Trains explores how to capture the look and purpose of these unique vehicles across three decades and different scales.
