EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from The Mirror magazine, Volume 2, September 1844, showcases an intriguing innovation in the world of model railways – the Prosser Guide Wheel System. At a time when the railway industry was rapidly expanding, model railways became increasingly popular as a means of entertainment and education for the public. The Prosser Guide Wheel System was a significant development in the field of model railways, enabling more accurate and consistent operation of model trains. The system, which is depicted in this illustration, utilizes a series of small wheels, or guides, attached to the underside of the model train's wheels. These guides fit into grooves on the model railway track, ensuring that the train stays on the rails and moves smoothly. The Prosser Guide Wheel System was a major improvement over earlier model railway systems, which often relied on friction or gravity to keep the trains on the track. The use of guides not only made the model trains run more smoothly but also allowed for more intricate and detailed track layouts, as the guides could be easily adjusted to fit into various track configurations. The illustration shows a model train, complete with its Prosser guides, making its way along a winding track through a picturesque landscape. The attention to detail in the image is remarkable, with the train's wheels and guides clearly visible, as well as the intricate details of the track and the surrounding scenery. The use of shading and perspective adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art as well as an important historical document. Overall, this image provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of model railways in the mid-19th century and the innovative solutions that were being developed to make these models more realistic and enjoyable to operate.
