<DIV><DIV><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">As model railroaders began demanding ever-greater realism, Lionel responded in 2004 with its FasTrack system featuring an integrated roadbed, scale-sized ties, and a less-obvious center rail. Veteran hobby author Bob Schleicher follows up his <I>The Lionel FasTrack Book</i> with a closer, more detailed look at Lionel&rsquo;s revolutionary O-gauge system. This guide gives enthusiasts a deeper sense of how to take advantage of the FasTrack&rsquo;s ease of use and unprecedented realism in large-scale model railroading. The book includes 150 color photos and track diagrams for 10 scenicked FasTrack layouts ranging from 6x6-foot tabletop models to an 11x30-foot scale-size empire. Schleicher also provides instructions for building tables to support the layouts, advice for creating both rural and urban scenery, and an appendix of recommended suppliers.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p></DIV>
