Lionel FasTrack Model Railroads by Robert S. Schleicher (2009, Paperback)

I had read a review of this book before I purchased it, so I had a pretty good idea what to expect. The other reviewer (not from E-Bay) indicated that the track plans in the book were not "blueprints" so you could not build a layout exactly from the information contained in the book. This might be true, although you couldn't tell for sure unless you actually tried to build each layout. In any case, the author did not try to claim that the sample layouts could be built exactly as pictured, and there is no need to. For me, the book was useful because the many excellent color pictures of layouts gave me a lot of ideas about the layout I'm planning to build. And that was all I was looking for.
