Highlands Station's ninth digital book, Big Book of Model
Railroads, features the layouts of well-known modelers like George Sellios and Howard Zane along with lesser-known but
highly skilled modelers who model in scales ranging from Z to G. With 300 pages, 39 layouts, hundreds of high-resolution
photos and 3.3 GB of information, you’ll be able to see these layouts like never before. You’ll visit private, and even a few club layouts, of all
sizes and scopes that will inspire and inform you on the techniques and vision of their creators. Taken from the pages of
Model Railroading magazine and presented in PDF format (Adobe® Reader® 5.0 or later required), all text is fully
searchable, and all of the high-resolution photos can be zoomed in on for close examination of every detail...something not
possible with printed versions. Pages may be printed for personal use.
* PLEASE NOTE: Even though this digital book is on a DVD, it requires a computer with a DVD
drive and Acrobat® Reader®...it is NOT a video disk, and thus will not play on your TV with a DVD player. Because the images on this DVD are 300 dpi instead of
the usual 96 dpi commonly used, Adobe® Reader® may respond slower than usual.
