This is only the second time I've ever had this for beautiful book for sale -- it's not seen too often. It's oversized at 8"x11" and is enlarged from the original of 1897. The booklet is tightly bound, but shows a small loss of paper at top of spine and a small chip to spine edge of front cover visible in photo. There are also a few dark stains to front, but these are not highly visible due to the darkness of the green paper. The author subsidized her effort with national advertising at both front and back.

These mid-century magazines about toy trains always remind me of Lionels circling a lit Christmas tree with little kids in pjs watching in wonder. But of course toy trains didn't just belong to kids and still don't. To pout together a great layout requires vision, knowledge and patience. I've never seen this particular magazine, but it's great fun if you love the subject. Articles cover trains of yesteryear, types of structures and how to use them, the construction of Centerville Cutoff, the birth of 342, reader lay-out designs, toy train travelogues, automatic crossing gates, tools and how to...
