BR60103,
thanks for the translation. Just as a note the second book was a repro of a catalog from one of several companies that merged to become ALCO (American locomotive company). They sold to mining companies as well as railroads and stationary steam engines for industry.
In the book from Simon Bolton under the soldering section resistance soldering was briefly mentioned apparently the author had a bad experience, I can relate as I built my own resistance station which made two solder joints and then self destructed
may just get a ready made resistance setup one day but for now I have a hand full of soldering irons and two soldering guns(these would be overkill and hard to position accurately).
I can get brass and copper sheet metal not sure where to get nickel/silver sheets.
British outline locos kinda grow on you after awhile but the two I like best is one called a mallard? and the Flying Scotsman. I like the looks of the 3 rail stuff from ACE and even ETS equipment(Chek. republic manufacturer).
