4.0 out of 5 stars Good beginner model railroad book (focused on n scale), October 26, 2006
This review is from: N Scale Model Railroading: Getting Started in the Hobby (Model Railroader) (Paperback)
I'm a beginner in model trains and have started with N scale. This book has been a great help. It is not a biblical guide to N scale nor to model railroads, but it does cover all of the things I need to know to get started and make some good choices on construction (and avoid some costly mistakes). I do know it does not cover the basics of DCC setup/wiring but there are entire books for that as well. If you've never tried trains and are going to model in N scale this would be a great start for learning.
