In this Lionel construction lesson for novices, Trzoniec begins with a salute to the toy company and then proceeds to the essence: nailing together a four-by-eight-foot table; laying and wiring Lionel's distinctive triple-rail track; selecting engines, cars, and buildings for Plasticville (an actual promotional name from Lionel's 1940s heyday); and customizing the scenery--not forgetting the obligatory tunnel. Exactly captioned pictures complete the utility of the guide. 96 pages.

The book mostly uses the traditional "tubular" style of track.  Chapters include:

  • Basics of track and track planning
  • Building a 4x8 table
  • Laying track
  • Power, control panel and wiring
  • Basic scenery
  • Operating accessories
  • Maintenance and troubleshooting
  • What's Next?

CONDITION: New old store stock. Some very light wear along spine and general store cover wear, so calling it like new rather than new. Inside looks new.
