GORDON ODEGARD has been a vital member of the staff of MODEL RAILROADER magazine for over 30 years, where his contributions have included drafting, photography, writing, track planning, layout building, and editing. He has had a hand in nearly every project model railroad built by the magazine since 1949. Gordy has built models and model railroads in a dozen scales and gauges. His N scale home layout will portray Milwaukee Road operations in the late 1940's.
Built to show model railroading to newcomers and to demonstrate the potential of N scale, the Clinchfield is an original, innovative model railroad. The layout is the most ambitious staff project ever undertaken by MODEL RAILROADER magazine, and this book tells, step by step, how it was conceived, researched, planned, and constructed.
More than a text on building a specific layout, this book is also a compilation of basic techniques that can be used to build any model railroad in any scale or gauge. Included are how-to information on lightweight aluminum benchwork and resilient plastic foam scenery, methods for ensuring smooth-running trackwork, and complete details on wiring a layout for reliable two-train operation. Every aspect of construction is illustrated with plans, drawings, and photographs, many in full color.
