Contents:
1. A brief introduction to DCC wiring, i.e., Digital Command Control wiring.
2. Railroad HO-24: Simplicity and Great Plains, Level 1. Single track railroading in 4 x 6, with directions for making a light framed plywood table. Notes on effective scenery on a flat surface.
3. Railroad HO-25: Great Eastern Trunk, Level 2. Multi-track operation in the popular 4 x 8 size. How to lay out a simple control panel.
4. Railroad HO-26: Southside Connection, Level 2. A switching layout that gives you extensive operating possibilities on a shelf only 15" wide and 10' long, which can later become a part of a longer railroad.
5. Railroad HO-27: Transbay Interwoven, Level 3. Adding a second 4 x 6 section to a minimum size railroad allows two-level operation and easy reversal of train direction. Atlas piers and bridges simplify construction.
6. Railroad HO-28: Granite Gorge and Northern, Level 3. Detailed instructions for building a spectacular 5 x 9 mountain railroad that features track operation on two levels and a variety of bridges.
7. Railroad HO-29: The Central Midland, Level 3. An advanced railroad with extensive yards and multi-level track on an open grid framework fitting into a 10 x 12 area. The main line has 22" radius curves to allow operation of larger equipment.
8. Railroad HO-30: The Morgan Valley Railroad, Level 1. A small but busy switching layout with a loop for continuous running. This 4 x 6 layout is convenient and satisfying.
