 NEW Book for 2012

Build a 7-1/2" Gauge Railroad in your Backyard

(Includes Dimensions for 7-1/4" Track)

Back when Laurence Johnson began building his backyard railroad, there were no books like this to show him the way.  He had  to teach himself how to build the track and the other things to complete his own backyard railroad. His research and the experience gained during construction will prove invaluable to the beginner and expert alike.
