Not nearly enough directions to accomplish the things you want to do. Lot's of pictures not much substance.

Featuring more than 185 color illustrations and photographs, Designing & Building Multi-Deck Model Railroads: How to Get More Out of Your Space is an in-depth, step-by-step walkthrough for serious model railroad enthusiasts. The text offers helpful overall advice as well as minutely specific recommendations, stressing that creating an elaborate multi-deck railroad ultimately entails more compromise as compared to a single-deck design. Experienced model railroad builders will welcome the technical detail of this solid how-to manual.

I'm hoping to get a house soon so that I can start building my first model railroad and I know that no matter what the space is like I'll be looking at constructing one with multi-decks. The author talks at length about designing the space for Operating Sessions, and for good reason. Even though I'm not in to doing all the time table stuff he is, some of the same issues apply - like making sure that there's enough room for people to work switches and such. Many of the photos show how good lighting makes a difference. And rather than just scratching the surface of many important topics, the author dives right in. It seems like most of the topics that should be covered in this book are. Which is something I can't say for a lot of MR books that I've read. Overall I'm very pleased with this book.
