Modeling shortline railroads can lead down many paths. They often feature older equipment, less-frequent operation, and simple track arrangements, all of which can make them easier to re-create.

Modeling Shortline Railroads, written by Tony Koester, features both classic and modern examples of prototype short lines in across the country.

This book shows you:

  • Modern holding companies that operate multiple shortline railroads
  • How older locomotives and freight equipment get new life on short lines
  • Examples of how modelers have used short lines to create realistic layouts
  • How a shortline layout can be realistically freelanced based on a prototype example
  • And much more!
