Description: Six HO Railroads You can Build – Step-by-Step Construction is a detailed description of how to build six different HO model railroads with Atlas track. Model railroading is a vastly creative hobby in which the goal is to build a railroad, not just a track arrangement with a train going around it. Most of the top-notch model railroads, however, have been developed by the frustrating process of doing much of the same planning, construction and testing the layout two, three or even more times. The purpose of this book is to help you build for yourself a soul-satisfying railroad on the first attempt and continue as an ever-increasing fascinated model railroader. The first thing they have done in this book, with the six assorted types of railroads described, is to plan Atlas-Track arrangements which will fit accurately into the spaces of the size and shape commonly available to the beginning railroader. These railroads have all been constructed and you can rest assured that the track will fit into the space shown and that the items called out in the bill of material are precisely those that are required. If you already have some track that came with your first trainset, of course, you will deduct these items from your shopping list. For each of the Six HO Railroads You Can Build, they tell you what materials are suitable to use for constructing the table, or framework, they help you take all the proper parts and try to steer you clear of the more important ways in which you can fouled up. The most fundamental thing to do right from the start is to select the type of railroad that suits your desires and capabilities as well as your space. You will fund Atlas’ Six HO Railroads You Can Build invaluable when you plan and build your first railroad layout. My first railroad was the “Simplicity & Great Plains” railroad layout in the book. The information in the book was invaluable as I built and expanded subsequent model railroad layouts.
