Modeling Shortline Railroads Book
Go off the beaten path and learn how to model shortline railroads. Perfect for modelers with limited space or for those who like highly detailed scenes, you'll want to check out this new book by Tony Koester!
Basic Model Railroad Benchwork Overview
Modeling shortline railroads can lead down many paths. They often feature older equipment, less-frequent operation, and simple track arrangements, all of which can make them easier to re-create.
Modeling Shortline Railroads, written by Tony Koester, features both classic and modern examples of prototype short lines across the country.
This book shows you:
- Modern holding companies that operate multiple shortline railroads
- How older locomotives and freight equipment get new life on short lines
- Examples of how modelers have used short lines to create realistic layouts
- How a shortline layout can be realistically freelanced based on a prototype example
- And much more!
