BOOKLET No 3

In this booklet we offer more advanced information on rapidtransit right-of-ways and operation for the model layout. There is a limit to all that can and should be included in a booklet such as this - space obviously disallows. In future booklets we will be showing still further details and more operations as what you need to know becomes apparent. Complete track plans are not included since their limited applicability will probably cause more confusion in how to properly plan rapid transit for your layout. Instead we include track diagrams that complement the photos used as illustrations with a section of special diagrams of interesting trackwork you might find just right for your interests and/or space.
