Thoughtful and detailed guide to designing a successful and interesting model railroad layout. The author discusses how pike location, scenic realism, scale and gauge, prototypes, and pike purpose each can influence the layout design. He also addresses how to create a unifying theme. Using actual layouts he discusses every aspect of the design process, from how to fit the railroad into the available space in your house to how to realistically recreate the mountain pass on your prototype railroad. The author designed track plans for Model Railroader magazine for over 25 years so this book is an authoritative and reassuring guidebook. Illustrated throughout with drawings, photographs, charts and diagrams of all sorts. 123 pages.
