I'm selling my 5' x 7' HO Great Northern Railway freight layout (see elsewhere), as well as numerous books and materials on all aspects of model railroading. With classic titles in layout design, bench construction, wiring, scenery, operation and more, this inventory is a full complement of everything in HO railroading from A to Z by some of the best known and accomplished model railroaders in the history of the hobby. Most titles are for direct current (DC) operation, while a few are for digital command control (DCC) or a combination of both.
All titles published by Model Railroader magazine, Kalmbach Publishing and Atlas Model Railroad Company. Books are listed by category, title, author and price. PayPal plus exact postage. Located in Missoula, Montana.
