Marty McGuirk's book "N Scale Model Railroading" is a quite detailed,in-depth overview covering most all relevant N Scale data. It's a very good starting point!
 Good beginner model railroad book (focused on n scale) October 26, 2006
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I'm a beginner in model trains and have started with N scale. This book has been a great help. It is not a biblical guide to N scale nor to model railroads, but it does cover all of the things I need to know to get started and make some good choices on construction (and avoid some costly mistakes). I do know it does not cover the basics of DCC setup/wiring but there are entire books for that as well. If you've never tried trains and are going to model in N scale this would be a great start for learning.
Nice book.. August 29, 2003

I bought this book 2 weeks ago, and I spent an hour with it.Well and friendly written , good described concepts !.. for beginner like me. But I didn't find any European Brands such as (Trix or Fleischmann) samples in this book, you are understanding "re-thing" before realizing your own layout and scenery by N-Scale items.There is no lighting and electrical samples in the book.Just track feeding and wiring..A learned a lot of things from the Glossary.After all this is a nice book for beginner.

The invention of N scale railroad modeling opened up this popular hobby to tens of thousands of enthusiasts in the mid-1960s down to the present day. With N Scale Model Railroading, Marty McGuirk introduces the neophyte model railroader to all the unique aspects of N scale, including layout planning, essential tools and supplies, track laying, wiring and train control, locomotives, rolling stock, structures, and modular railroading. Of special interest are the step-by-step instructions for building the Carolina Central 4 x 8-foot N scale project layout. If you would like to try your hand at N scale model railroading, begin with a careful reading of Marty McGuirk's N Scale Model Railroading!
