Customer Review:

This author has done an amazing job going through step by step on how to create realistic scale model scenery. He adds tips and tricks that helped me to build some small scale movie sets I was making. I suggest this book to anyone trying to do what the title implies.

Great book to build layouts of all sorts. If just starting to build a layout, start with the 1st edition or something similar first. This book is an advanced version. Still, the plans or ideas will definitly give you insight for any upcoming or future product.

One Hundred and One Track Plans for Model Railroaders (Model Railroad Handbook, No. 3)
from Kalmbach Publishing Company
Price: $9.95

Customer Review:

I bought this book to get ideas for a N-scale layout and found many interesting options, at this price it is almost a no-brainer for model enthusiasts.
That said, converting to N-scale isn't painless. The 1/2 of the HO measurements doesn't leave enough room and the tracks are already very close... more info

Big Book of Model Railroad Track Plans
from MBI
Price: $23.07

Customer Review:

This book does contain a multitude of track plans. The plans overall, however, tend to be sub-par. This is most evident when you compare this book to those written by the Late John Armstrong, or the track plans published in hobby magizines.
The book is helpfull, however, in planning for staging... more info

The Model Railroader's Guide to Freight Yards (Model Railroader Books)
from Kalmbach Publishing Company
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:

I didn't find much of value in the book. The one chapter explaining the different parts of the yard was okay but I was looking for some help in designing my own model railroad yard and was disapointed. I closed the book thinking I would need a large garage sized layout to build anything of value.... more info

I started out with a DC train set under the christmas tree about two years ago and now I'm diving into DCC. I wish the book had more on computer control and wiring occupany detection but still it's a very good starting point.

Ho Railroad from Start to Finish (Model Railroad Handbook, No 36)
from Kalmbach Publishing Company
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:

As 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. Terms used eg 'latex paint' require some... more info
