Model Railway Layouts

"Hiya Albert,

I convey warmest greetings from the Republic of Ireland. I've been invigorated by your Model Railroad "mini-course" E-letters, which were formatted into easily understood guidance.

I've been away from the Model Railroad hobby for over thirty five years and much within the genre has progressed, especially within the Digital Control/Multi train and modern wiring technique.

Thanks to your de-mystifying common sense and sagacious lifelong experience within model railway design, running and practical applications, I wholeheartedly endorse both your E-book and requisite FREE "ten day mini-course E-mails"!

Your 'bible' of Model Railroad wisdom should be a mainstay part of any creative hobbyist's code library! An excellent achievement Albert - your publications banish those "mind-miasmic techno-geeks" and allow us enthusiasts fully enjoy our beloved Model Railroading!

Heartfelt Congratulations,

My Kind Regards,"

"Albert,

As a kid, I was into model railroading. As time went by, other things took precidence to model railroading. I am currently in the military, as such, I began looking for a hobby and I immediately began looking to get back into railroading. While searching the internet, I came across your web page. Your free daily newsletters have really renewed my interest in this great hobby. It wasn't long before I downloaded your e-book. It was an easy read, not filled with all the technical stuff that would make me loose interest.

Since my family and I move every few years, I need a "portable" set up. Once our Christmas decorations are down, with your book in hand and your encouraging newsletters, it won't be long before I begin getting started on a layout, and what I am sure will be a lifelong hobby that my family will also enjoy getting involved in.

Thanks so much, Albert, for your dedication to this great hobby and getting the word out."

"Hi.

I am new to this. 3 months ago it started with buying a box of n scale train (45 train cars) with no track for $10 a week or two. Later I bought some track and convinced my wife to let me put a small track in our bedroom. I think it was around 20 pieces.

That only lasted for a week, now I have over 300 pieces of track, 22 remote turn outs, 8 manual turn outs, 7 locomotives and its all starting to come together, but with me being so new to this there is a lot I don't know. Your free newsletter has helped me out greatly.

The most recent that saved me was “Adjusting the grading of your track”, and also the size and planning of track and room it’s in. Big thanks, I have really enjoyed this hobby and I owe a part of that to you and your newsletter."

"Albert,

I have read, with interest, your above named guide. As a novice to this field it has certainly given me insight as to how to proceed as well as forewarning of some of the misadventures one could encounter without having the benefit of the assembled material.

Given the limited space available you have certainly included a wealth of information gathered from your personal involvement in model railroading. The guide certainly is an interest and enthusiasm builder! The guide will give anyone who reads it the basics for starting in this hobby as well as ideas to be followed up elsewhere to advance their knowledge.

I would also comment that I believe anyone interested in starting a model railroad hobby subscribe to your "Secrets to Successful Model Railroading" as well as to obtain your "The Essential Guide to Model Trains."

Good Railroading to you."
