WALTERS
MODEL RAILROAD REFERENCE BOOKS Walters is a big hobby store with yearly catalogs for each scale. Their prices
are higher then most hobby shops that advertise in Model Railroader Magazine, but their
yearly Reference Books are the bibles for Model Railroaders everywhere. If you are just
starting out, or have been involved in the hobby for years, these yearly bibles give you a
one stop place to window shop.
- KALMBACH
PUBLISHING CO.
- Great place for those just
starting out. Several fantastic books on "Beginning Basics", "Small
Railroads You Can Build", and "Railroads In Small Spaces" are wonderful.
They have too many books to list here. No matter what scale you are thinking about,
whether it's scenery, model kit building, or even outdoor railroad modeling, they have a
book for every scale and topic. I have almost all of their books. And don't overlook books
in scales other then the one your presently thinking about modeling in. I often get great
ideas from HO scale books for my N scale modeling, etc.

LAYOUTS
- Wall-Track
System
- They offer a shelf system for big
scale trains, if your ceilings are high enough. At least a look might give you some
ideas.
- Railways Under Glass
- Don't have time to build a layout
yourself. These are expensive but little works of art you'd be proud to display in your
living rooms to show off to all your guests.
- TERRAIN FOR TRAINS -
- Preformed Styrene (NOT FOAM)
layouts in many scales including HO,N,&Z. They have many small beginner layouts-like
the "My First HO Layout" which makes your first layout setup quick and
painless.. Most of the hard work is already finished. If you are more concerned with
"playing" with your trains and less inclined to detailed scenic work, this is a
great way to enjoy the hobby. Your layout will look great and you can get to the
"running" of the trains that much faster. This is also a great Christmas Layout.

involved. Their quality is unmatched. This track system is the reason I'm now into N
scale. Great starter sets.
