Everything you need to know to get started

Since the mid-1960s N scale has opened up the hobby of scale model railroading to thousands of people who previously did not have room for even a small layout in one of the larger scales. The popularity of N scale continues to grow with the introduction of new products, techniques, and activities. In N Scale Model Railroading, you'll find the basic information you need to familiarize yourself with the unique aspects of N scale, including:
	Layout planning
	Essential tools and supplies
	Tracklaying
	Wiring and train control
	Locomotives, rolling stock, and structures
	Modular railroading
And to help you get started on the right track, you'll even find step-by-step instructions for building the Carolina Central 4 x 8-foot N scale project layout. Just open the pages of N Scale Model Railroading, and you'll discover a dynamic and N-gauging hobby!
