Review: Great reference for new and experienced modelers. - Great for beginners and even for someone who has been doing models for a while. I used to do these type of models religiously, but I got out of it for a few years and wanted to start back up but I knew after all that time there had to be some better methods to doing some of the things I used to do. So several websites pointed me in the direction of this book and all in all, I went into it looking at it with a "beginner's" mind set so I could "relearn" based on "newer" technology with these type of models. I'm glad I did. Even with having prior experience, this book taught me a lot about platform builds and gave some helpful tips and tricks for scenery, track layouts, etc. that I didn't previously know even back then. So far I've taken two of the track layouts from the back of the book and combined them into a double track layout. I'm still working on the buildings (making a residential area as well as a "business/industrial district" so I haven't really started any scenery items, but I have the platform built adn the track laid out where I want it. I'll post some pictures as the layout begins to come together as a whole (it's an 8' x 6' layout so it will take a bit to get to that point). But this book gave me several new ideas for my layout that will absolutely work perfectly with what I'm trying to do. I highly recommend this book to both new and experienced railroad modelers! Very good source. Review: Recommended first book about model railroads - An excellent reference book for entry level model railroading.

Full of good ideas with plenty of illustrations ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great train modeller's starter book *by M***E on November 18, 2010* I found this book very informative and useful as I start into model trains. I am an experienced modeller but mainly with aircarft and ships with some dabling in dioramas. My kids are big into Thomas wooden railway and I thought that model trains would be a nice natural progression; trouble was I had no experience with model trains. I dropped into a model train store and had a chat to them and brought a starter set. This was how I became aware of Bachmann's E-Z Track but before I launched into anything serious I need to do more research. I trolled the internet and whilst there was plenty of useful information there was no cohesive single source. So I decided to buy a book. The title of this one caught my eye so I ordered it. It is an easy read, written in plain language and explains technical terms as they arise, perfect for a beginner. It has a natural progression from easy layouts to the more challenging and gives good advice on how you should progress as you gain experience. Highly recommended for beginners. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bachmann Trains E-Z MODEL RAILROADS TRACK PLANNING BOOK 0.5 Liters - 101 Track Plans for Model Railroaders (Model Railroad Handbook, 3) - Basic DCC Wiring for Your Model Railroad: A Beginner's Guide to Decoders, DCC Systems, and Layout Wiring --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/18312330-bachmann-trains-e-z-model-railroads-track-planning-book-0](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/18312330-bachmann-trains-e-z-model-railroads-track-planning-book-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
