Perhaps Iain Rice's forthcoming book on locomotive construction covers both brass and whitemetal, but I have his one on whitemetal locomotive kit construction and brass brass kit construction:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Whitemetal-Locos-Kitbuilders-Iain-Rice/dp/0906867770

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Etched-Loco-Construction-Iain-Rice/dp/090686786X/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1332682865&sr=1-4

They are both very useful, but no book can teach what it "feels like" to push things to the limit and risk melting the whitemetal and so on. Nothing beats actually trying it on bits of scrap.

Thanks for the info, I always solder white metal where posasable dont trust glues, also I some times cast my own white metal parts  I dont have the tools to make brass scratch building but would like to try some day.
Thanks again
