ABOUT
Two volume set.
An authoritative reference work for collectors and historians of early tether cars, rail cars, and micro-engine model racing.
The two-volume set covers the pivotal era when miniature car racing emerged as a high-tech hobby. It traces the movement from its immediate pre-World War II origins through the post-war manufacturing boom.
The history of miniature racing cars created using articles, pictures and vintage ad media from "The Model Craftsman Magazine" from 1939 to 1947. The years leading up to 1939 this magazine was a Model Train magazine. This is a complete history written by the men and women who built and raced these cars and sent articles to the magazine.
