Summary: Decent book, good overview
Comment: I found this book very helpful. It gave a nice overview of a variety of up-to-date techniques. Seeing a number of different small and medium sized railroads built from start to finish gave me a good idea of the kinds of techniques I would like to use. With this book as a starting point, I was able to find further information in other publications more specific to my needs.

The book does have some weaknesses. Being a collection of seperate articles, there was no feeling of flow even though the projects are organized roughly by size. Often particular parts of a project are only vaguely described. It is not a comprehensive guide. For instance, the use of remote switch machines is largely ignored.

This book is a great starting point, and combined with more in depth information from books on specific subjects, it provides a great overview of what it takes to build a model railroad using a variety of modern techniques.
