Having bought the Walthers/Cornerstone Steel Mill kits some years ago and the Walthers book, I was a little disappointed under the impression that the book contained little information on the accompanying model kit.
Years later a new book: "Steel Mills" now has appeared and I was surprised at how detailed yet easy to understand everything is explained here. Unfortunately I will have to alter some of my buildings on my layout as now for the first time I actually understand what exactly they do and how.
There are many track plans included for all sizes of layouts and many photos of the actual kits and how to arrange them, aswell as drawings of the buldings showing their functionality.
To me this is the perfect mix between information about the prototype, and how to model it using the Walthers kits.
If you buy the models you should buy this book.
