Summary: Another John Armstrong classic -- get it!
Comment: By outlining many of his designs, John Armstrong takes you through the entire approach, from the basics of track operation and designs to pre-liminary plans and from the evolution of track layouts until a layout is final. Similar to his book Train Planning for Realistic Operations, I read this book multiple times, since it contains so many ideas and explanations. It was very educational for me and influenced me in my design project(s). Good and plentiful drawings make it easy to understand what it takes to scale real-world scenarios down to fit into a given space for a layout and what parameters and considerations influenced his decisions and compromises a railroad modeler has to make. Even although your final layout will look different, this book will help you to build a better and more realistic design. If you are serious about railroad modeling, you must read this book.
