Building Vehicles for Model Railroads from Kalmbach Publishing Co. is a very useful book for modeling vehicles. It also includes tips and techniques suitable for almost every other modeling genre. It features an excellent gallery of photographs and detailed text. If you value vehicles on your layout, this book can guide you to make them more realistic. If you have old models you want to revive for nostalgia or economics, you will appreciate this book. I have no meaningful complaints about this book and recommend it. --Fred Boucher Managing Editor, RailRoadModeling
