Book Reviews of The Model Railroader's Guide to Freight Yards (Model Railroader Books)

Book Review: Not quite what I needed
Summary: 3 Stars

I didn't find much of value in the book. The one chapter explaining the different parts of the yard was okay but I was looking for some help in designing my own model railroad yard and was disapointed. I closed the book thinking I would need a large garage sized layout to build anything of value. Nothing smaller is considered in the book. The examples of actual model railroads didn't add much (and they were all huge too) The book also reads pretty quick. In half an hour I was done with nothing more to be gained. I found much better information on a couple of personal websites. I was looking for options and I was only given one - build big.
