About the Author

Pelle K. Søeborg, a Danish resident, runs his own graphic design business. In the early 1990s, several Model Railroader magazines caught his attention, and he has been a model railroader ever since. A trip to the United States in 1992 added to his interest in modeling United States prototypes. In 2006, Mountain to Desert, a book about his home layout was published. He has written two other books, Done in a Day and Essential Model Railroad Scenery Techniques, for Kalmbach Books. Pelle has also written a number of articles for Model Railroader magazine throughout the years and has provided photos for model train calendars and Woodland Scenics and Walthers catalogues.
