Model Railroad Reference Guide and Cheatsheet
This 7 page reference guide on model railroad is packed with information about scale, wiring, DCC, scenery and maintenance. We've collected all of the most useful and most often used charts, guides, tips, tricks and strategies found in how-to model railroad books and magazine articles and distilled them into this handy at a glance guide.
Just like our scenery products, these sheets are all professionally printed in full color (no ink jet) on 80lb paper for durability. You can get those heavy thick books full of post it notes off of your workspace and replace them with these jam packed seven pages. Please refer to pictures for previews of each page.
