Great Insparation

Good book for anyone to that is just starting on model railroading, even a the more advanced railroader would find some of the topics covered usefull

Very Informative

This book has just about everything a beginner need to become familiar with the hobby of model railroading. It has everything from choosing the correct scale and gague, to how to maintain a well-tuned railroad, to the scenery of your layout. I am sure that as I grow in the hobby, this book will be used time and again as a wonderful quick reference of how to do just about everything in the hobby.

A Good Start

It is one thing to be interested in getting started on a model railroad and it is quite a different thing to actually know what to do. Anyone can take a basic train set and add some more track to it but such an unorganized approach soon leads to an unwieldy and expensive mess that will probably not be very enjoyable. This book goes a long way in remedying that problem.

It just covers the basics but it covers a lot of them. That includes track, running gear, wiring, scenery, model building, foliage and much else... even photography. It covers none of these things in any depth but it does provide a starting place and allow a novice to ask intelligent questions. It is a needed resource for a beginner.
