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.

If anything, interest in Britain''s railways and their history is increasing rather than diminishing. Many now deeply regret the mass closures of the late twentieth century and there are campaigns in many parts of the country to reverse some of these and restore lines that were prematurely closed. That railways are unquestionably an environmentally friendly form of transport is also part of this narrative.Interest in exploring disused railways is also growing among different groups. Nature lovers relish the flora and fauna of abandoned embankments and cuttings, industrial archaeologists delight in discovering viaducts, tunnels and old artefacts, while social historians may focus in uncovering the lives of those who lived or worked on the railways. For others, old railways simply invoke nostalgia for those not too distant halcyon days when a now-slumbering line was busy with passenger and goods trains hauled by steam locomotives of varying shapes and sizes.This book takes a detailed look at many of the ''lost'' railways of the North-West of England. It examines how they have fared since closure and what is still around to see and visit. The post-closure history of the line includes track lifting, demolition of buildings and structures, changes of ownership and access and the current condition of the railway in question today.As well as looking at what remains of a line, its original purpose is also explored; why was it built, what did it carry, why did it close? Comparisons are also made with lines that have survived and adapted to meet the demands of the modern passenger and freight transport. This book will appeal, not just to railway enthusiasts, but also to a wide range of readers beyond that community.

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.
