Make it run like a dream: Trackwork

The Run like a Dream series came out of Joe Fugate's own experiences trying to get his HO Siskiyou Line model railroad to run as flawlessly as possible. If there’s any part of the model train hobby where taking care pays dividends, it’s in your roadbed and trackwork. When a loco or car gives problems, you can remove it from the layout until it can be repaired or replaced. Not so with roadbed and trackwork: it’s there to stay. When the track has been done right, you can often quickly rule the track out as a factor when debugging performance issues. Getting excellent performing model railroad trackwork is the focus of this book.
