O Gauge Railroading is the original magazine exploring exclusively the O, O-27 (3-rail), and O scale (2-rail) market. Since 1969, OGR has pioneered the toy train market and led the industry in creating many exciting products.
The O Gauge Railroading Primer takes the beginner through a little history, into a basic knowledge of differences between gauges and train sizes, through simple layout design and construction ideas to advanced train operation. Along the way the reader will discover easy-to- follow diagrams, construction plans, and pictures to make the job easier. Comparison of many manufacturers of track, switches, road bed and more allow the reader to choose products that best fit their own unique needs without wasting money. Repair tips on what to do when getting the trains out of storage as well as simple-but-effective hints on scenery and buildings give the beginner time and money saving ideas that are usually learned only after years of experience.
An extensive glossary of over 200 terms used in model and prototype railroading is included. The over 40 track plan drawings and a completely labeled drawing of a steam engine all help the beginner understand the lingo of the pros.

Since then, the trains were put away and most of us went through school, cars, girls, military, marriage and raising our own family. We had gotten away from our trains, forgotten about those times until mom (or Grandma) brought them out of the attic. Then it started all over again. Except now, we have more money, a wider variety of products and the time to make our great train empire.
The changes that have occurred in the hobby while your trains were sleeping in that attic are enormous! We have engines and rolling stock that look and sou d like the real thing. There is Command Control, ProtoSounds2, Station Chatter, Yard Chatter and LocoSounds. We have a variety of power sources. Even an engine with a TV camera in the nose so you can view your layout from the engineer's perspective. And who knows what will be next?
This very basic book will help you get up-to-date and start you on your journey into a wonderful hobby.
