This book presents twenty-one great ideas for small O gauge train layouts, using Lionel's FasTrack and Atlas O's O Gauge Track System. Each layout contains a track diagram, a build-out diagram, a bill of materials, and a wonderful narrative by author Ken Hoganson explaining how to build the layout. All the layouts are easy to build, and are suitable for a novice builder.
