A Great Beginner's Guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: HO Railroad from Start to Finish (Model Railroad Handbook, No 36) (Paperback)
I had been struggling with how to start railroading for about 6 months when I ran across this book at the library. I finally have some direction and the available know-how to get going. The book covers the most basic subjects of how to get started as well as a few more advanced subjects. It's a must for new modelers!

This review is from: HO Railroad from Start to Finish (Model Railroad Handbook, No 36) (Paperback)
If you are considering entering the world of Model Railroading you must have this book. It will guide you from an empty room to a fully functioning railroad. Lots of tips and step by step make it very easy for a novice to make a pretty nice layout. Î can't recommend this enough.

This review is from: HO Railroad from Start to Finish (Model Railroad Handbook, No 36) (Paperback)
If you don't have any background in model railroading than this book is a good place to start. It will read great the first time through but don't expect to ever go back to it for reference later down the line. Concepts like control panels, wiring, switches, etc. are all left vaugely discussed, and for this reason it can be frustrating. Make sure you buy this is conjunction with another book better detailed in any areas you don't understand (like wiring).
