 Layout plans for toy trains ok, but not for fastrack January 30, 2010
Alan Barry (Muskegon, MI USA)
The information in this book is good, but if you've purchased a train with Lionel fastrack it isn't very useful for specific train layouts. It does provide great information on all the different track types, other than fastrack and has some good ideas for larger train layouts.

After 50 years I returned to "playing" with my boyhood Lionel trainset. With help from my electrically competent son, it still worked.
But I wanted ideas about layouts and how to set it up. This book gives many plans for many different room sizes. It also is most informative about the different types of tracks available, their merits, and the components that can be purchased. It is well worth the money. I'm young again!
Limited Material Lists, good background info January 18, 2006

Basic background information about trackwork and benchwork contained within the first few chapters of this book are excellent information for the novice model railroader. (Note: The L-girder benchwork diagram is mis-labeled, pieces #7 form the X brace between the legs, while pieces #3 & 5 form the triangle between the legs and the "L" girder support. Dimensions for these pieces are correct)
Layouts at all interesting, however, slightly less than half of the layouts in this book come with track/accessory material lists. If you're using this a inspiration for your own layout, that should be no problem. If you want to actually build the layout and there's no list, you may be able to guess what you need. There is also a good variety of layout sizes, from small to room size.
