With gorgeous color photographs,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garden Railroading: Getting Started in the Hobby (Paperback)
Kalmbach Publishing is the premier publisher of "how to" books for the model railroading enthusiast. Their latest release, Garden Railroading: Getting Started In The Hobby, is a first-rate introductory guide to creating lush garden landscapes that incorporate working model railroads. Gorgeous color photographs fill this impressively detailed compilation that spells out the nuts and bolts mechanics of planning and building railroad tracks as surely as it covers the proper care of flowers and greenery. An excellent reference, and simply beautiful to leaf through, Garden Railroading is strongly recommended reading for model railroading buffs at all levels of expertise and experience.

Good Collection of Great Articles,
By Paul D. Race "Writer, Teacher, Songwriter, Ra... (Springfield, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Garden Railroading: Getting Started in the Hobby (Paperback)
This is a collection of beginner-oriented articles from Garden Railroading magazine. This is not a single "how-to" source as much as it is a source of encouragement. It is also a great companion to Allan Miller's book, as it fills in some of the (admittedly small) gaps and shows a few alternative ways to accomplish things. Many people appreciate the great photos, which also appeared in Garden Railways magazine at one time. Authors include Jack Verducci, Pat Hayward, Marc Horovitz, Kevin Strong and many other best-known writers on the subject of Garden Railroading.
-Paul Race, editor for Family Garden Trains (tm)
