WE'VE sharpened our model railroading skills with books on layouts, structures, wiring, and scenery, but here at last is the book that attacks the bottom line of model railroading - OPERATIONS. This long-awaited book tells us how to operate our model railroads just like the real railroads operate. Author Bruce Chubb, inspired by the early writings of such pioneers in operations as Al Kalmbach, Frank Ellison, and John Allen, and drawing on Kalmbach's timeless 1944 classic How To RUN A MODEL RAILROAD by Boomer Pete as a model, has brought forth a monumental work of 184 pages loaded with operating information. The basic principles of prototype operations are explained, but most important the book is a working manual that shows you how to incorporate these operations into your pike using proven model railroad operating techniques!
