  • Excellent resource for new and old model railroaders.

    It really is a good resource that will answer most of your questions on how to make a model railroad run realistically and even look realistic. It also shows how to make smooth running of trains without derailment issues. I recommend this magazine for the new as well as a seasoned model railroader. Its definitely a must have in your library of resources.
