Product Description
Follow the construction of a model railroad layout from start to finish! Over the course of three years, Model Railroader Senior Editor David Popp offered readers a monthly ?Step by Step? glimpse into his N scale Naugatuck River Valley layout as he built the layout from the ground up. Now he tells the complete construction story using techniques any model railroader can use! More than 30 short projects take modelers through the process, from building benchwork to operating realistically. Step-by-step photos and illustrations let modelers see every phase of construction and apply the techniques to their own projects. Project topics include getting the layout started, building benchwork, completing trackwork and wiring, constructing scenery, adding structures, detailing, and running the railroad. Includes new material on choosing a scale, working in the available space, and installing DCC decoders.

This book got me to select N scale and get started. Great read even if another scale is your choice.

I'm "MiMi" to a five year old railroading afficiando. This book told me everything I needed to know to make my grandson's eyes pop and the word "Awesome" fly from his mouth. Hands down a great guide for the beginner.

I really enjoy this book, I am an HO modeler and all this is in N scale, but it still was a very excellent book.

A great book for anyone who's ever said "how'd they make it look like that?" It shows everything just as it says, step by step. A lot of great pictures and tips for everything from benchwork to scenery. A definate must for anyone looking to get into the hobby.
