Description
Cherry's remarkable model engines are a testament to her dedication and skill. Over six decades, she has created intricate, fully functioning models of traction engines, showcasing her expertise in design and craftsmanship. Each model requires an enormous amount of time and effort, with some taking as long as 7,000 hours to complete. Every part is meticulously made from metal stock in her workshop, with no parts bought in. The result is perfection, not only in terms of design but also in the level of detail that goes into each model. This book presents a unique opportunity to see the fruits of Cherry's illustrious career, displayed in all their intricate glory.
