About this title

About the Author:

Lou Sassi has been a model railroader since his pre-teen years in Saratoga Springs, New York. He started building his HO scale Boston & Maine West Hoosic Division Railroad, which was featured in July 1988 Model Railroader, 1999 Great Model Railroads, and Allen Keller s Great Model Railroad video #23. In 2008, Lou dismantled the West Hoosic Division, and he and his wife, Cheryl, moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, to be nearer their oldest son, Adam, his wife, Lynne, and their two children, Heather and Joshua. Lou is working on an O-30 layout based on Maine s two-foot gauge Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes Railroad. The initial 2-foot by 6-foot module built for this endeavor is featured in the last three chapters of this book. Lou s previous projects for Kalmbach Books include A Realistic HO Layout for Beginners, now out of print, Basic Scenery for Model Railroads, and How To Build and Detail Model Railroad Scenes, Vol. 1.
