In addition to the layout ideas, the book begins with tips for putting a layout together. These are invaluable. They will be known by people with experience in the hobby but many neophytes don't know them; they are useful for all.
If I have any real complaint it is that I would have liked to seen photos of the actual completed layouts instead of just the schematics and rational. Still, it's a good book.
model railroads -- too much for any one book. This book is a great
source of basic information on getting started (laying track, cork,
wiring, etc.) that helped me get started. With clear pictures and
great explanations, this gives you enough background to start and
to read from more complex sources as you need.
For those interested in getting into model railroads, this may be a good place to start, it helps you with the basics, but if your just looking for layout ideas you may want to pick up something else.
