This book is intended to provide a background understanding of the science (fine ship modeling) as we know it today. We trace its development from the 17th century and describe the design methodology of these early shipwrights whose ideas dominated the ship designer's thinking until well into the 1800's when at last traditional concepts gave way to true, modern experimental science. The illustrations, including photos of models and representative lines drawings, provide comparison between ships of earlier and later vintages.

Model trains are older than the railways themselves. The pioneers of steam power tested their ideas with small scale models, and toy locomotives were produced almost concurrently with early engines like the Rocket and Adler. Originally viewed as children's toys, model trains now are collected primarily by adults. The earliest model trains, produced in the mid-nineteenth century, were wooden pull-along toys that were not intended to be faithful replicas of the real thing.
