Lionel 6-24200 The Lionel FasTrack Book

Lionel FasTrack Model Railroads: The Easy Way to Build a Realistic Lionel Layout. As model railroaders began demanding ever-greater realism, Lionel responded in 2004 with its FasTrack system featuring an integrated roadbed, scale-sized ties, and a less-obvious center rail. Veteran hobby author Bob Schleicher follows up his The Lionel FasTrack Book with a closer, more detailed look at Lionel's revolutionary O-gauge system. This guide gives enthusiasts a deeper sense of how to take advantage of the FasTrack's ease of use and unprecedented realism in large-scale model railroading. The book includes 150 color photos and track diagrams for 10 scenicked FasTrack layouts ranging from 6x6-foot tabletop models to an 11x30-foot scale-size empire. Schleicher also provides instructions for building tables to support the layouts, advice for creating both rural and urban scenery, and an appendix of recommended suppliers. Dozens of track plans also show a variety of ways to integrate scenery and Lionel operating accessories to create a realistic layout. From small tabletop layouts, to large floor plans, there are many track ideas for you to explore, including double-track layouts for two trains, layouts to allow reversing trains, and any number of do-it-yourself designs. This book is a must-have for any Lionel train aficionado. Manufacturer: Lionel Model Number: 6-24200 Category 1: Books and Media Category 2: O Scale Books & Media
