    How many of you had this book, and how many of you built a layout from it?

    It had a big impact on my early model railroading experience back in the 70's. I still look at it and think that I should build one of the layouts just for fun.

    My older brother had it in the early nineteen sixties and built a modified version of one of the layouts in it. I used to look through it over and over again because I thought it was in such a neat format. The pages eventually got loose and, over the years, it disappeared.

    I would love to have a copy of it again.

    I still have a copy. A high school friend build one of the layouts, I started another one, and while in the military I did a lot of armchair modelling using these designs. There's a lot of great information in there.
