THE book to have if you're thinking about starting a layout

If you've wanted to start a realistic-looking n-scale railroad layout (think beyond just setting up a loop to run around the Christmas tree), and aren't sure where to start or what it will involve, this is the perfect book. It's stuffed full of helpful pictures, detailed walkthroughs and examples of products to buy if you really really like the way they did a particular section.

The book covers the development of layout, starting out with minimal scenery and a single loop. It then adds a service yard... and a downtown area... and so on. Before you spend dollar one on track, rolling stock or even a piece of lumber, buy and read this book.

Great N Scale Starter Book

After looking on-line for many different layouts and ideas for my first N Scale display I came across this book and am now very pleased I did. This book, (although somewhat outdated on some techniques and items listed) does an outstanding job of giving a beginner step by step instructions on creating a very enjoyable layout that will give you plenty of room to grow or start slow. I just started building this layout and will have this book by my side step by step. I will also be picking up some other books to compliment this one to help with the new DCC wiring and other modeling techniques that are out there today to make this hobby enjoyable. Thanks to this book it is going to be a wonderful display for our family.

Great Starter Book

Bought this when I was getting back to N Scale model railroading after a 30 year hiatus. It is an excellent book. Has many innovations that I never would have thought about and have not seen described elsewhere: like, making the benchwork out of foam core! Followed their directions and now have an extremely light weight, durable, layout. Another positive element is the title's theme: a model railroad that grows. The authors start with a simple layout with simple scenery, allowing the modeler to begin railroad operations very quickly. The book then moves through several phased projects, allowing railroad operations to become more complex without having to wait for the entire project to be completed before beginning to enjoy the fruits of your labor. It is not helpful on wiring the layout or converting locomotives for DCC operations, but those details are available elsewhere including very useful online forums. A great book for the beginner.

Great Beginner

This is a very good book from going from nothing about N scale railroading to the basic beginner. I'm trying to copy step by step to get the feel of model railroading and this is a very good book to start. The instructions are basic but attainable the graphics are great.
