DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION
One of the great attractions of the ever-growing hobby of model railroading is its truly dynamic quality, resulting in continually new and exciting developments. Seldom, if ever, has this spirit been better caught than in this book, a veritable treasure trove of new and stimulating ideas, improvements and simplifications on existing themes, new methods and materials, of interest to every fan, regardless of whether he is a beginner or an old hand at the game.
Page after page, and chapter after chapter, it provides a wealth of practical information ranging from control and signal methods, including full information on the latest developments in electronic and electric-eye devices; building and rebuilding models at home; full details on making parts and castings in the hobbyist's own workshop, and even an HO gauge live steam locomotive!
ADVANCED MODEL RAILROADING is a definite entity in itself, and does not duplicate any of the material found in the author's previous books. It is a sequel to Mr. Hertz' two other books in this popular series: THE COMPLETE BOOK OF MODEL RAILROADING (335 pages), widely recognized as the basic book on the hobby, and to the wonderful collection of model railroad ideas contained in NEW ROADS TO ADVENTURE IN MODEL RAILROADING (340 pages).
Ideas for expanding the scope of the Model railroader including Model making from scratch, Patternmaking, castings, conversion, super-detailing, control, propulsion, electric eye and much more.
