All about model railroading, train tables, how to combine scale and tinplate, track, scenery, wiring and controls.
MODEL railroading is a constructive, instructive, pleasurable hobby. It offers a change from push-button, spectator amusements and provides a means of enjoying participant pleasures. For the man who prefers to be up and doing, its opportunities are limitless.
Of course model railroading for adults is an escape mechanism -as any good hobby should be. The tensions and tedium of everyday, workaday life are easily and quickly forgotten. The rail fan can go purely mechanical, dabble in things electrical or become a "landscape architect."
Fortunately no special genius or craftsmanlike skill is required to join the ranks of the model rail fans. Even the fellow who thinks he is all thumbs can start with ready-mades, and will be surprised at how rapidly skills and abilities grow to match ambitions.
