 Rating:  - modle railroadingthis book answers a lot of questions. Its very imformative. well writen with lots of pictures. explains things that a person that had never really thouth about. I enjoyed it. Rating:  - beautifully illustratedAs you would expect its a beautifully illustrated guide and informally written to boot. The only shortcoming for someone as raw as I am is the lack of detail in amounts used to create differing depths of colour and texture if landscape creation.

Often, modelers learn by doing and learn a lot from mistakes. This is valuable experience but it is also frustrating. This book attempts to address this problem by presenting the construction of a very modest but still well though out layout that is simple. This book is made up of reprints of a series of articles from MODEL RAILROADER MAGAZINE. It starts with a simple idea. ... Read More Rating: - 4If you don't have any background in model railroading than this book is a good place to start. It will read great the first time through but don't expect to ever go back to it for reference later down the line. Concepts like control panels, wiring, switches, etc. are all left vaugely discussed, and for this reason it can be frustrating. Make sure you buy this is conjunction with another book better detailed in any areas you don't understand (like wiring). Rating: - You need this bookIf you are considering entering the world of Model Railroading you must have this book. It will guide you from an empty room to a fully functioning railroad. Lots of tips and step by step make it very easy for a novice to make a pretty nice layout. Î can't recommend this enough.
