How To Build Model Railroad Benchwork, 2nd edition
The 2nd edition does give more information in a number of areas as well as being updated on newer materials and tools compared to the first edition. There is a good variety of alternative methods given for most applications and basic requirements to build strong permanent benchwork. It is a great book for the begining modeler and a good refresher guide for the more experienced modeler. You will still need to refer to other more advanced books for further details on some subjects such as helix construction or modular layout construction. Some research will be needed to find the latest editions of CAD and other layout design software. The section concerning control panels does not address computer controlled or DCC applications as these became more prominent after this edition was published. I have no reservations in including this book among my recommendations to anyone wanting information and basic knowledge for starting their own layout. If you use the techniques explained in this book, you will have a strong, steady foundation for your model railroad.Read full review

The Benchwork Bible
This book by Linn Westcott is the single most authority on benchwork. Linn pioneered many of the methods used here and his presentation is simple and above all, it just works. Everyone can learn something even if you are an experienced modeler.

Good book but not competely up to date.
The magazine was very helpful, especially in deciding how large the sizes of the structural materials should be and how to secure them. It has no real information on the use of foam construction materials which can actually be purchased in large size panels for a very small price at places like lowes in the insulation panel area. For this reason I only gave it 4 stars.

Get a copy of this book before you even start any benchwork. It will have you thinking outside a 4x8 flat square table.
This is very good information and will get you thinking outside of the square flat layout to something that has elevation changes and long sweeping curves.
