RJR posted:Joe, I hadn't seen that cover on "Model Railroading" before. I have parts of 2 from about the early 50's or earlier. Was one of the best books on model railroading ever written. I read it to shreds.
It was a great help to me when I got back into the hobby in 1990 or so. I wish the diagrams were sharper -- guess the original materials were lost and they worked from a copy on newsprint.
I love the simplicity of the insulated rail techniques. No relays, no soldering (just lock-ons and wire)!
Never saw the book as a kid -- wish I had.
Take care, Joe.
