Basic Model Railroad Benchwork (Model Railroader Essentials Series)

Based on the write up it was expecting it to have more about running, maintaining and repairing of model railroad trains and equipment. It is a good book, but it does not have much if anything thing about benchwork, as the title leads you to believe. The pictures are useful for setting up the basic track layouts of your setup. There are no electrical instructions or track layout blueprints, it is basic. If you are looking for more information about maintenance bench or talks about electrical (DC & DCC) this is not that type of book.

I have been out of the hobby of model railroads for a many years. A lot of things have changed over the years. I just got back into the hobby. This book has some good ideas and techniques on benchwork. I am looking to using this book for my new layout.

Like? I love all the helpful info and suggestions. Dislike? it doesn't come with extra time attached!

Another informative Model Railroader how to book. I knew a lot of this but some was new and gave me ideas

Great read! I’ve been modeling for quite some times and bought this as I wanted to expand to a larger layout now that I have the space. A lot of the tips in here saved me so much on materials. My Home Depot bill went from $400 to $250 just from reading this. Recommend to anyone who has any doubt about building from scratch. Cheers

But I play one sometimes, thanks to this book. I actually bought lumber, hardboard and a few tool accessories (#8 flippable countersink bit and driver is amazing) / parts... and more amazing still, I have something in my basement now resembling the start of a layout!

very well assembled book of facts and procedures for the budding shelf model railroader....

This is just what I needed. Don't pay attention to the negative reviews. The book is written so anyone at any level experience can understand it and put the techniques to work right away. I inherited a large HO collection and just retired so I was looking for a book that would help me get started correctly on track. This is the one, photos are prefect and the instructions are written so they can be put into action.

After having a quick look through the book I was very disappointed at the quality of the paper and print. You get what you pay for, I wont be buying this sort of product from Amazon again. There are plenty of UK sellers out there which are not a lot more expensive.

An excellent book full of ideas

Tolle Tips - nicht nur für Anfänger! **** ***** ***** ***** (das mit dem MINIMUM an Wörtern nervt!!! AMAZON - bitte abstellen, man kann auch mit wenigen Worten einen klaren Kommentar abgeben!!!)

Information is a good for you
