Was kann die Modelleisenbahn für den Sachunterricht leisten?Vielleicht mehr als es im ersten Moment aussieht!Denn nicht nur als Hobby, sondern auch als Lerngegenstand im Grundschulunterricht bietet die Modelleisenbahn vielperspektivische Zugänge, um das Lernen in vielfältigster Art und Weise zu ermöglichen - natürlich ohne den Spielspaß außer Acht zu lassen. Das vorliegende Buch beleuchtet die Modelleisenbahn als vielperspektivischen Lerngegenstand, der theoretisch die Möglichkeit bietet, im praktischen Unterrichtsgeschehen des Sachunterrichts und anderen Fächern der Grundschule eingebunden zu werden. Neben den fachdidaktischen Verbindungen werden auch Anknüpfungspunkte im sächsi-schen Lehrplan und - exkursiv - in den Lehrplänen anderer Bundesländer aufgespürt, um den Einsatz der Modelleisenbahn didaktisch und pädago-gisch mit der Skizzierung einer Projektkonzeption zu begründen.

"As the production and consumption of commodities like grain, coal, lumber, coil steel, cement, and more have evolved over the years, so have the railroad cars that haul them. Commodities by Freight Car shows you which cars carried which cargoes in the era you model. In this book, you'll learn: how all-purpose boxcars, gondolas, and flats gave way to a dizzying variety of specialized freight cars for coil steel, lumber, flour, sugar, auto parts, and frozen foods; how freight handling has changed over the years; how railroads handle hazardous cargoes such as chlorine and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG); which experimental car designs worked to make transporting goods more efficient--and which failed and much more. Plus, you'll get many helpful modeling tips!"--Adapted from publisher's website.

Learn the what, why, when, and where of modeling the railroad right of way. The track and surrounding details are some of the most important features to capture on a model railroad. This all-new book from Jeff Wilson includes: Articles on a broad range of features and areas including track, roadbed, ballast, turnouts, switch stands, grade crossings, detectors, signals, equipment cabinets, and communication lines. History of when various details and features were used. How they were used and how it could affect model railroad design and operations. Why and how they evolved and changed over time.

One of our best received railway titles in recent years was Northern Rail Rover, a selection of unpublished photos taken in the final years of steam on Britain's railways by photographer, Allan Heyes. We were delighted when Allan agreed to compile a sequel from his extensive archive which covers his travels in search of steam in the 1960s. The result is an all new collection of his work, Northern Rail Steam.This book takes the reader on a journey recorded in over 200 images, which starts in North Wales and moves on through Chester to Merseyside. There follows a roughly circular itinerary starting around the Wigan area and south east Lancashire before heading to the north east and Cumbria before returning to Lancashire. While the majority of photos cover steam on the BR network, some explore the colliery and other industrial lines which fed traffic onto the main lines. Sequences of pictures at certain locations will recreate the lineside experience of many enthusiasts at this time and will bring them to life for those too young to remember those days.A feature of the photographs of Allan Heyes is that they honestly and accurately portray the reality of those last years of steam. There is no attempt to glamorise the subject, the dirty and unkempt nature of engine sheds and their locos is here for all to see. The book also focuses on the infrastructure and the environment of the steam railway so much of which has been swept away in the decades following the end of steam on Britain's railways.

First widely introduced from the early 1950s onwards, the diesel multiple-unit represented an attempt to produce a vehicle that would replace steam traction on the country''s branch lines and secondary routes at a time when the railway industry was in desperate need of a cheaper alternative to steam in order to improve the finances of these increasingly unremunerative lines. Over 4,000 vehicles were ordered from both BR works and private manufacturers as part of the BR modernisation plan of 1955.Following refurbishment from the early 1970s onwards, many first generation DMUs were to survive in service until the late 1980s and early 1990s. Although most were scrapped after withdrawal, a significant number of these vehicles have been preserved on the nation''s heritage railways.This updated and expanded edition of Hugh Longworth''s classic book on the subject records the great variety of DMU types constructed as part of the programme. Each is covered in detail with information about construction, technical specifications, entry into service, formations, allocations, withdrawal and final fate. This new edition makes full use of colour throughout with many additional photos included. The diagrams have been redrawn and a new section showing the unit formations has been added.Comprehensive in its coverage, this book will be sought after by all those modellers, preservationists and historians seeking a detailed reference work on the history of first generation DMUs.

Building a model railroad ‚"‚€‚" especially a room- or basement-sized layout ‚"‚€‚" takes a lot of time. In his new book, Tony Koester shares many invaluable time-saving tricks he's learned over the decades as an accomplished modeler and author. Using LDEs (Layout Design Elements) with staging. Efficient layout construction tips and techniques. Time-effective methods to get a layout built and operating.

rom the late 1800s to the 1960s, the railroad industry faced a unique challenge: What was the best way to ship fresh produce across the U.S. to prevent spoiling? Produce Traffic & Trains looks at the development of refrigerator cars and how their development led to wide-scale growing and shipping of produce. Covered topics include: The development of refrigerator cars, car fleets, and produce terminals. Harvesting, loading, shipping, and delivering fresh produce, and later frozen products. Running express trains, making ice and icing stations, and carrying out perishable operations.

Modern Freight Cars, a new book by Jeff Wilson, provides an overview of freight cars from the 1960s through today. This is an essential guide for model railroaders who model the 1960s through today, as well as railfans and freight train enthusiasts. The book features more than 200 photos and covers various types of cars, including boxcars, hoppers, and gondolas, and how they evolved, as well as new car types, including intermodal cars and 89-foot auto tracks. The book also gives a deeper look into how different industries use freight cars, when cars entered service, and the dates when rules and restrictions took place. Other topics include: Freight car evolution (size and weight increases; new car types) Car components (brake systems, trucks, and couplers) Hi-cube and specialty boxcars Intermodal cars (flat, spine, and well cars) Open and enclosed auto racks Mechanical and cryogenic refrigerator cars Center-beam flatcars And much more!

"This book shows readers how to read a photograph and see all of the details in it, then explains how to replicate those details on a model railroad. Learn from Model Railroader magazine's pool of experts how to build accurate models and scenes based on prototype photographs for your model railroad. The projects will necessarily explain nearly all model railroading-related model-making skills"--
