Exhaustive and Sometimes Numbing but Worthwhile
This book can be looked at as a gigantic advertisement for Digitrax digital command and control equipment. That is what it is but it is also much, much more. It is also a thorough introduction to a subject which intimidates many model railroaders. Most of what is presented is independent of manufacturer. Digitrax plugs their own equipment but they also point out that most of the information applies to their competitors as well. Where things are not so universal, this is clearly pointed out.
Is this "The Big Book of DCC"
Thanks to John Palmer from New Zealand, DCC Model Train users around the world can now learn how to get more out of their Digitrax products. This book is well set out in different chapters that cater for the basic userthrough to the person who is more technically inclined.Also included is aGlossary to help define most of the DCC terminology.I myself have had alot of fun setting up user defined speed tables with the help of this book.Throughout the book there is a good selection of pictures and diagrams tofurther help the reader.Although it is geared towards the Digitrax user,I recommend this book to any and all DCC users. ...

Good book for beginners
From the Kalmbach series of model railroad books, this is a good introduction to the hobby, taking a step by step approach to building a simple layout. If you are looking for a book that takes you through the beginnings, then this is the book for you. If you are looking for more detail, select one of the other books in the series.

An average book to get help
Well as I can not find so much resources in Turkey for modelrailroading, I had been looking for such resources until I ran across these books at Amazon, one of which is Ho Railroad from Set to Scenery. It is a quick start guide book with helpful tricks and the ways to get the set to a real world. The only missing thing is, I would like to see more color photos, but the advices are the most suitable for my ideas.I can recommend this book with also the "Basic Model Railroading" by Kent J. Johnson (Well the general tricks are mostly the same, if you a starter like me just buy only 1-2 books and that is enough) ... Read more

Favorite Book about "America's Favorite Toy Trains"?
The fresh, exuberant expression of the Souters' writing continues throughout the book as a look at a paragraph from Chapter 7 attests: "Lionel has survived competition, inflation, two world wars, the Great Depression, financial scandal, receivership, rampant nepotism, material shortages, off-shore production experiments, dubious corporate acquisitions, management blunders, marketing blunders, the decline of the railroads, Roy Cohn as CEO, loss of its distribution network, loss of its primary customer base, Sputnik, acquisition by a cereal company, spin-off to a toy company, purchase by a millionaire hobbyist, and the computer chip revolution.Today, the name Lionel still means `electric train'."Read more
