The Model Railroader's Guide to Industries Along the Tracks 4

I enjoyed the entire book, the descriptions of the industries, the how-to information, and the illustrations.

This series is a good introduction of industries that are common along railroads. The content is concise and some of these books have suggested reading. This should serve to prompt ideas and lead to further research for possibilities according to geographic oriented industries or other industries that may be found anywhere. Decent reads, reasonable cost.

my layout is combined with coal and a harbor for moving coal on barges an this help a lot

A really useful book, this (and its forerunners) are a great source for ideas, as well as details about various kinds of industries found along the tracks. Many of these are now gone, so anyone who wants to model early eras will find this especially handy.

Very useful. A good start for info.

Well written. Covers the topics and provides additional links. Helpful photos and occasional track plans of the industry. Will incorporate some of the industries on my new layout.

provides a very good set of explanations for a person who is building or wants to build a model railroad

A very useful book

ein weiteressehr gutes Heft in der "Industries along the Tracks" Serie des Kalmbach Verlages. Sehr schönes Layout, viele schöne historische Bilder alter Industrien. Behandelt werden folgende Themen: Stadtgaswerke, Salzbergwerke, Ziegeleien, Steinbrüche, Sägewerke, Eisenbahn und Wasser ( Kaianlagen, Eisenbahnfähren der grossen Seen, Erz-, Kohle- und Getreideverladung ).Jeweils in Beziehung zumTransport mit der Eisenbahn. Viele Anregungen für den Modellbahner, aber der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Darstellung und Erklärung der Original-Situationen !

Super interessante Zeitschrift

I have all four of the Industries Along The Tracks books and have enjoyed them all. Jeff Wilson describes the history of an industry as well as gives modelling ideas for each.

si vous aimez l'univers US des trains et des réseaux. beaucoup de photos, des croquis, des exemples permet de fixer une idée et d'approfondir.
