Practical Guide to Model Railroading [Paperback] Linn H.Westcott and Richard H. Wagner

This easy-to-read book is the most fundamental reference book in the scale model railroad hobby. It answers the questions every model railroader asks, whether he’s ready to add scenery, or just getting started. The first part of the book provides pointers on the hobby of model railroading and the best ways to go about it. This is followed by chapters on cars, locomotives, and painting. After a very practical discussion on ways to operate model railroads for more fun, come chapters on the how-to-do-it of track construction, wiring, and scenery. The data tables in the back of the book are especially valuable, and don’t miss the track-planning template. The chapter on track-planning tells how to use this template with a pencil and a piece of tracing paper to make any kind of track plan for your own model railroad space.
