This book features 45 original track plans created by respected author Bernard Kempinski. None of these track plans have been published before, so modelers will get an exclusive look at all-new material. Plans include:
• A variety of scales, including HO, N, S, and O.
• A variety of portrayed locations, with many from the east coast of the United States.
• Room-sized plans to those that fill a basement or garage.
