New HO scale book

[bikkuri bahn]

HO scale modelers (Mark Newton and others) may be interested in this recent publication from Neko, it is part 2 in their series about products from Echo Models.  Lots of pictures of etched metal/brass kits with beautiful detail, as well as a catalogue of Echo Models rolling stock detail parts. Also included are a couple of nice explanatory perspective drawings of a westinghouse brake system and a standard feedwater heat system on a Japanese steam locomotive. Anyway, publications covering HO scale are few and far between, I tend to snatch up any that have some worthwhile content.

Looks to be worth having, I think. Thanks BB! Does Echo Models have a website?

 

Cheers,

 

Mark.

It seems they don't have their own website, but this site seems to have a catalog of their parts:
