"There is more to building a layout than simply benchwork, track, structures and scenery. There is also a different dynamic to building a layout depending on the scale it is being built in. This book covers the various aspects to building a layout in 1/4" scale as it relates to finescale modeling. However, if you are not a finescale modeler, do not pass on this material as it is suitable for any O Scale layout."
William W. Davis
