 not worth it October 24, 2009
Barry Kennedy (Deer Lodge, Montana United States)
not even close to worth it, for the amount of money your spending. I would be looking elsewhere to spend my money. The only part of the book I used was one of the layouts had a fairly good bench. And you can find this same bench in the book "From Set To Scenery" for a whole lot less money. I spent the money & am not even close to satisfied.
 Decent book, good overview July 25, 2001

I found this book very helpful. It gave a nice overview of a variety of up-to-date techniques. Seeing a number of different small and medium sized railroads built from start to finish gave me a good idea of the kinds of techniques I would like to use. With this book as a starting point, I was able to find further information in other publications more specific to my needs. The book does have some weaknesses. Being a collection of seperate articles, there was no feeling of flow even though the projects are organized roughly by size. Often particular parts of a project are only vaguely described. It is not a comprehensive guide. For instance, the use of remote switch machines is largely ignored. This book is a great starting point, and combined with more in depth information from books on specific subjects, it provides a great overview of what it takes to build a model railroad using a variety of modern techniques.
