Recensione

If you do not have one book covering the basics of creating a model railraod layout or one on maintaining and operating your trains in your library you may wish to consider purchasing this one. --The Villager, newsletter of the Plasticville Collectors

This book with its excellent pictures and detailed descriptions will satisfy the model train neophyte as well as the old veterans. It is geared especially to the famous 'O' gauge Lionel trains of yesteryear. It can serve as a reference book for those just starting out or rediscovering the joys of model train collecting and operating layouts. --F Dumanoir

This book lays a great foundation for anyone starting out. Practical ideas and methods are shown for wiring track and accessories. Care and maintenance. High quality book with very thick glossy pages and many many color photos along with some B/W photos. This would be helpful for anyone interested in 3 track O-gauge even if they are planning on using non-Lionel trains and accessories. --R Brooks
