Hi It's been quite a while since I have had the Model Train bug. I was looking for a reference book that would get me started back into the hobby. Since times have changed. The trains that I grew up with, may or may not be compatible with current equipment, track, transformers, and other electrical accessories. This magazine contains 128 pages of information, plus pictures, diagrams, and layouts. . Each section (12 in all) gives the reader a good brief description on every subject that the new or old hobbyist needs to start back into Lionel Trains. The back of the book has 5 Appendixes, so you can find up-to-date information on; Lionel trains on-line, collector and operator clubs and associations, suppliers of equipment and accessories. As well as a glossary of terms, and references for Lionel operators and collectors. Please keep in mind that this book is a starting point. I am sure that the references in the back of the book, your local hobby shop, book store, or library can take you further for more detailed info. Enjoy the Read!!! POPPYRead full review

Bought this book after I had gotten out my old Lionel train from 1959. I needed to know everything, since I had never hooked it up myself before and I now wanted to create a layout. This book has actual layout plans which are very helpful; even if you "customize" them, this book gives a good starting point.
