This is a smaller more affordable version of the full book covering the period from the 1930's to the 1960's.This originally started as a project to collate and show all my model photographs. I then realised that other photographers I knew or followed on Flickr had some great model photographs too and before long we were starting to build up a large collection of different types of vehicles. This has grown and grown over the last couple of years until finally building a book that includes over 200 photos which not only covers most of London Transport's history of all the various types of vehicles seen but also a modelling history too.
