KALMBACH Guide to Prairie Railroading
Description:

By Tony Koester

Prairie railroads have a different feel and character compared to railroads in the mountains. The nature of prairie railroading allows modeling these lines on narrow shelves, which maximizes your layout space whether you’re dealing with a large basement or two walls of a spare bedroom.

This book is filled with both modeling tips and prototype information:

  • How to model many types of farm fields: corn, soybeans, wheat, and more.
  • How to model various businesses common to the region: such as grain elevators, oil dealers, coal dealers, and lumber yards.
  • How railroads operated and dispatched trains on prairie railroads.
  • How they assigned locomotives.
  • And so much more!

Author Tony Koester includes many inspirational photos showing how he and several other veteran modelers captured the essence of these railroads in miniature.
