I agree, this is a great web site, and one I have looked at many times. They have a good section on DCC installations as well that has proven to be very useful on more than one occasion.

Excellent info. Very well written and presented. Lots of basic info presented.

I see lots of questions about various topics covered at this site. Check it out. Some articles, Freight yards etc, are very long and very comprehensive...

More info on operations than you could possibly use.
Great article on building plastic structures
Basic info on fine tuning shake the box kits
Cool stuff on handlaying track

I think you could print the articles section and have a nice basic Model Railroading book.

Enjoy
