Minimalist Model Railroading: Capturing the Essence of Railroading
Why do we build model railroads? The answer is to capture some piece of the essence of railroading. The design of a model railroad should be relentlessly focused on this goal. The number of trains, the amount of track, the volume of scenery, the quantity of buildings is not the important design metric – the only thing that is important is that you have enough of each to fulfill the goal of re-creating some part of the railroad experience. Above all, a satisfying model railroad design should meet your building or operating desires and conform to your resources of time, space, money, and skills. Inside this book you will discover a fresh perspective on the process of model railroad design. There are seven complete layouts where the philosophy of minimalist model railroading is discussed in great detail along with numerous other design ideas which can be applied to creating your next model railroad.
