Post by: Hankwilliams on February 12, 2021, 08:40:34 PM

Hello dear friends and neighbors,

after nearly two years I now have the pleasure to advertise the publishing of my book in german language: "Schiffsmodelle mit Dampfantrieb, Technik-Praxis-Faszination"
The ISBN Nr. is 978-3-88180-508-7, VTH Verlag Baden-Baden.
The book with nearly 300 pages shows many pictures and illustrations about history of original and model steamboats, construction, plans and the step by step description of the build of the model paddlesteamer "Presto".

Congratulation Thomas.

Looks interesting from what I was able to see in the pages you posted.
I will order the book next time I am in Germany. That is if I ever can travel again. ::) :(

Thanks, Jurgen. Yes, I tried to get a synthesis of theoretical, practical and historical background.

Thanks Spanbucket. I try to do my best. Unfortunately the book is not in English language - but perhaps some day there will be a translated edition?

Greetings Thomas
