Trackwork and Lineside Detail
for Your Model Railroad
Part #KAL-12235 - SOLD OUT

Your guide to building reliable and realistic model railroad track

Track and the associated equipment are the focal point of any scale model railroad layout. While the adjacent modelwork is important, most observers direct their attention to the track, the small details along the right-of-way, and, of course, the moving trains.

Inside Trackwork and Lineside Detail for Your Model Railroad, you'll find instructions and information you can use to easily install and detail your model railroad trackwork to the highest operating and scenic standards. Some of the hobby's finest modelers will lead you through easy-to-follow projects that show you exactly how to:

Work with flexible track
Handlay track and turnouts
Ballast and weather track
Model details that appear alongside the track

Trackwork and Lineside Detail for Your Model Railroad is an essential reference that will help you model trackwork that performs as well as it looks!
