About the Author

Pelle K. S�eborg, 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.

Store Description

Train World commenced business at 615 Hawthorn road East Brighton in 1973. From a cabinet in a haberdashery store, Train World grew to take over half the shop in 1974 to take over the entire store and by 1977 it had taken over the shop and the rear residence. In 1981 the shop moved across the road to 624 Hawthorn Road East Brighton. Here too the shop grew and grew. So that by 1995 it had taken over the shop, the storage room area, the staff area, the garage, the rear warehouse and finally filling the entire building.
