Book: Hobby -- 101 Model Railroad Projects

Robert Schleicher. This new title gives model railroaders a treasury of weekend projects spanning everything from bench framing to wiring, assembling buildings, creating realistic ground covers, superdetailing locomotives and running the railroad. In addition, for every project, the author provides explanations of why the reader should undertake the task, what he or she can expect upon completion, and suggestions for complementary projects. Each project also features a series of studio photographs in both color and black-and-white to illustrate the concepts discussed. While the book includes information specific to HO Scale, each project includes a list of scales to which it is applicable. The result is a comprehensive and colorful how-to for everyone from N to G Scale enthusiasts. Softcover, 8-1/4 x 10-5/8", 256 pages, 250 color and 150 B&W photos.
