Model Railroader Reading List

I just bought this book, darting back to the 1940s, on eBay. Great fun read!

This has me thinking there must be a lot of really great books out there. Not necessarily still relevent, but just good to read. What are the books on your "must read" list? The books that are just too much fun and cannot be put down?

Model Railroading with John Allen by Linn Wescott

The History, Making, and Modeling of Steel by Dean Freytag

The Alleghenny Midland, Lessons Learned by Tony Koester

Track Planning for Realistic Operation by John Armstrong

Buiding Dioramas by Shepard Paine

.

What else should be included on the "Must Read" list?
