Realistic trains deserve realistic settings. What model railroader doesn't work to re-create all the beauty and grit of an actual landscape? Rural or urban, contemporary or nostalgic-the setting surrounding the tracks sets the tone for the experience of running the trains. The more connections to the real world, the better. Sometimes those tiny details-the bricked-over windows facing the vacant lot where the eyesore building once stood, the shifted board in the backyard fence and the path worn through the grass by the neighborhood kids, the telephone line strung from the transformer pole to points under the eaves of the nearby houses-are just what it takes for a rumbling miniature world to truly snag the imagination. This is the book you can use to make that happen.
How to Build & Detail Model Railroad Scenes covers the principles and techniques you need to design and construct realistic model railroad scenes. Clear instructions and more than 200 photographs will guide you through the building process-from concept to finishing touch. Beginner to intermediate level projects include structures, scenery, and detailing for:
Roadways and sidewalks Suburban neighborhoods
Small family farms Mobile home parks
Light industrial settings Lawns and landscaping
