Model trains, cars, trucks, military vehicles and construction vehicles are fun for kids of all ages to play with.
Bring out a model train and turn it on and watch the eyes of all the kids in the room light up (especially the older ones!)
Not only are they fun to play with, but model vehicles are great fun to build too!
The 8 PDF books on this CD contains information for building various land vehicle models using different techniques and materials. They're very well illustrated and clearly written in an easy to access format so they'll be super easy to use in the shop.

ATLANTIC 442 TYPE LOCOMOTIVE RAILWAY MODELERS PLANS
An Atlantic, or 4-4-2, type of locomotive as it is called in the railroad world, is one that has four small, or truck wheels in front, four driving wheels and two trailing wheels. It is a type of locomotive much used in the East for hauling fast passenger trains.
To make a model Atlantic type of locomotive that will look like a real one will take a little time, but whatever time it takes, you will feel repaid a hundred fold when you've completed it and have it in running order.
This is a very cool plan for the railroad model engineer to build. It's drawn out nicely with well detailed descriptions of the parts & construction.
If you love trains and the art of building models of these amazing machines, this vintage early 1900's digital document will be a perfect addition to your digital library.

BUILD A 13 INCH SEIGE GUN THAT REALLY FIRES!
In the early 1900's, model-makers took a bold approach to their projects. Creating a Model Siege Gun was, simply put, not really a problem.
So why not now, in the early 2000's? Sure you can! We've got the plan from the 1900's to do it! It's completely illustrated and written so it's easy to understand.
You'll be able to make a 13 11/16 inch long, 5/8 inch bore working model siege gun with wooden wheels. It's going to require you to do some machining of parts so a knowledge of the lathe and metal turning will be necessary.
Create it and take it out where nobody will get hurt & fire away!

BUILD A MODEL ELECTRIC CRANE INCLUDES DOUBLE DRUM HOIST
When the amateur constructor intersts himself in model crane & hoist construction, he delves into a field that has a wide range of interesting apparatus.
There are many types of cranes and hoists, any of which, if constructed will well repay the builder.
This is a cool document that originally dates from the early 1900's details the construction of two model machines, one an electric crane, the other a double-drum hoist.
These will surely catch the eye and attention of model builders of all ages. Once they're constructed and working, they'll entertain the same for hours on end.
Imagine the reactions to these nifty working models when they're presented for sale or offered as gifts. A truly useful addition to the toy model makers digital document library.

GYROSCOPIC MODEL RAILROAD MODEL- MAKERS BUILDING PLANS
Model makers of the early 1900's were searching for literature regarding the construction of gyroscopic railroads, according to the original author of this plan. He provided this model gyrocope railroad project as an answer both to the scarcity of the written information regarding gyroscopic balancing.
For the model-maker, railroad collector and fan of the "iron horse", this project is a superb addition to your digital library.
The plans are well drawn out and clearly described for a wonderful example of early 20th century ingenuity!
This will delight children of all ages when it's up and running and is sure to please during the gift giving seasons.

MOTORIZED MODEL CATERPILLAR TANK - GREAT TOY MAKER PLAN
The construction of a model tank that limbers along under its own power just as the big fellows do offers a very interesting project for the model maker.
This is a very cool plan from the early 1900's that is for a wired remote control caterpillar tank model toy. It operates on two separate variable speed motors, one for each tractor.
The option of adding a small caliber gun in one of the turrents is also noted. Blank cartridges make it bang!
Modelers will find this to be a very satisfying project to undertake. It will give them a bit of a challenge in creating the parts and it'll be a big hit with kids of all ages...
Toymakers will find these to be a big hit during the gift-giving and holiday seasons. This'll be a big hit with kids of all ages

BUILD A MODEL ELECTRIC RAILROAD - PLANS & INSTRUCTIONS
The rapid increase in the number of electrically worked railways, and the substitution of the electric for the steam locomotive on many lines, give legitimate cause for wondering whether, twenty or so years hence, the descendants of the "Rocket" will not have disappeared from all the railways of the world, excepting perhaps those of transcontinental character.
The change is already spreading to model plant, and not without good reason, as the miniature electric railway possesses decided advantages of its own. Instead of having to chase the locomotive to stop or reverse it, one merely has to press a button or move a switch.
The fascinations of a model steam locomotive, with its furnace, hissing of steam, business-like puffings, and a visible working of piston and connecting rods, are not to be denied, any more than that a full-sized steam locomotive is a more imposing object at rest or in motion than its electric rival.
