N Scale Model Railroading by Martin J. McGuirk (1999, Paperback)

This excellent book can help you get started in N scale by showing you what you need to know in order to construct and operate your first (or second or third!) N scale empire. And I do mean "empire"! The project layout is built on a 26" x 80" hollow-core door and features two passing sidings, hidden staging, and interchange track, three industry sidings, and a river that trains pass over on Warren Truss bridges! Just think what you could get on a "standard" 4' x 8'! There are 14 pages of step-by-step instructions and big color photos to show and tell you what to do and how to do it, from installing legs on the hollow-core door to adding a fascia to give the layout a finished, professional look.
