Masterclass Modeling Series #2: Detailing Track

by Mike Cougill, Managing Editor, O Scale Trains Magazine

Track, without it there would be no railroad. Yet modeling prototypical track is the least practiced aspect of building a model railroad. Mike Cougill has set out to correct this with his second book in the Masterclass Modeling Series: Detailing Track. This is an in-depth, 123 page discussion of modeling track from the prototype.

Topics include:

• The Anatomy of Track and Turnouts
• Handlaying Track and Turnouts
• Weathering & Ballasting
• Detailing Commercial Track
• Anatomy of an Interlocking
• Lineside Details

The book is profusely illustrated with color photographs showing just about every aspect of modeling track. You need to own this book to better model prototypical track.
