From The Desk Of: Leonard Poposki
Dear Friend,
Since you’ve found this website I suppose it’s ok to let you know… “I’m an model railroading addict.” The truth is, I’m always on the internet looking for model railway tips and tricks. That’s what led me to put this website up. Let me explain…
While surfing around the internet, I stumbled upon something so fantastic that it immediately got my attention… In fact, I discovered something sooo amazing that at first I thought it was "too good to be true" like most things are.
You see, a few months ago, I was doing some research on Mr. Marshall McClintock one of the most well-known and respected model railway experts in recent history. I noticed that most of his work was available and accounted for with the exception of one of his most important pieces of work,‘Build Model Railways’.
Well, this got me curious and so I started digging a little deeper; I started to send off a few emails asking questions, but unfortunately every road I seemed to head down was a dead end… until a couple of weeks ago that is…
By a stroke of luck, I emailed my story to one of my favorite site’s webmasters… as it turned out he had an old copy of this difficult to find book - it was right under my damn nose. After numerous emails I finally got him to mail me his copy.
I Uncovered One Of The Most Important Model Railway Manuscripts Of All Time....
Even though it was first published in 1955 this book has the best model railway information I have ever seen.
In the 10 chapters here’s just a snippet of what you’ll learn:
- Where to start—you’ll learn how to plan and build your railway to your own taste. Make it as easy or complicated as you like
- How to hook up your electric transformer—you don’t need to know anything about electricity, you’ll follow 3 easy steps to get your train all hooked up.
- What size to choose—you’ll learn how to decide which size track to use, you’ll have to determine what room you have and how far you want to go.
- What gauge to use—there are all different types of gauge tracks to use, this will impact on your other choices or trains, resources etc.
- What trains to buy—learn what sort of trains to buy, discover how to choose what type, size and make of train will best suit you.
- Tips & tricks on how to make your set look realistic—find out how to jazz up your whole setup. Learn how to make parts for your surroundings yourself, quickly and easily.
- The best layouts—depending on the space you have and your budget. Discover how to find non-expensive parts to use, like, ‘the timber base’ or even FREE resources, that will cut your expense dow
And there’s loads more…
At this point, you might be wondering how you can get your hands on a copy…
Well here’s the good news.
After doing even more research (I told you I was an model railway addict) I have contacted the original copyright owners and gained permission to republish Mr. Marshall McClintock’s complete work on this website.
Because model railway building is my passion and I want to share it with as many people as possible. Believe it or not, I’ve decided to do something completely unheard of these days. I’m going to let you have this amazing manuscript for nothing.
It’s FREE… Yes 100% FREE
Now you have no excuse for not being able to build and run the most amazing, stunning model railway in the street.
So without any further adieu, let’s get started...
