"Good book" according to Cowboybramer. Wish it had more about layout design. Logan D. Matthews said plus a great deal more. I was expecting a winner when I bought this bookand I got it. The author has presented many posts on 'Streets on the O Gauge Railroading blog. This book brings them all together, plus a great deal more. He has, I'm sure, written more on this topic than anyone else, and in my opinion is the top authority on the subject. He covers the history, technical aspects, and potential for building you. Very Practical Information Great book giving all the basics of all variants of Streets and how to incorporate it into an O Gauge train layout. Very practical with lots of photos, charts and diagrams. Having read it, I now very much want to incorporate Streets into my future layout. Excellent book, Lee!!
