3.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Concept that Lacks Something in Implementation, December 2, 2006
This review is from: Trackside Scenes You Can Model (Paperback)
The idea behind this book is a sound one. The author takes from his vast collection of railfan photos and points out ideas that would be useful for model railroaders. The problem is that there are plenty of nice photos, a few bright ideas and, on occasion, a well thought out observation on what will cause problems or be innovative but there is precious little on making actual use of any of these ideas.

He does give lists of parts from various suppliers that might be made to fit certain scenes but there is almost nothing of the "how to" variety. Its basically an idea book. There are better idea books out there. This is not to say that this book is worthless; it is not. There are some good ideas in here. I just wish there were more.
