Thanks for the review Phil, looks like a great title to add to the library.

Interesting point in image no. 7, the Tiger (212) which appears to be missing two outside wheels on the left.

A nice review concise and to the point.

Henk that wheel looks like an extra one to me running on the very edge of the track, is that even possible?

I have this book and I love it. The cover of the book is very well made and sturdy(also quite large) and the photographs inside are definately one of a kind. I was also lucky enough to have my book autographed by both the author and Otto Carius.

The Tiger is missing three outer wheels.
