| 25 of 25 people found the following review helpful  A must for Lego train owners, By This review is from: Getting Started with Lego Trains (Paperback) I have a confession to make. There is one small part of my childhood that is constantly returning; every few years it breaks out and I find my apartment covered in small pieces of brightly coloured plastic: Yes, the Lego addiction strikes. One of those recent episodes involved a train set (perhaps I indulged in a few pieces of track and an extra car or two - but that's all, I swear.Getting Started with Lego Trains is a fairly good guide to designing and building Lego trains. The writing is a clear, simple style that should be understood by anyone, the layout is clear. Jacob McKee, the author, is webmaster at Bricks On The Brain, a good site which acts as a portal to build instructions. He also has a section devoted to the book which has three example pages and some links to other sites useful to Lego train builders.

He's broken ground and set a very high standard for others to follow. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful Excellent Starter Guide, By David A Weiler Thiessen (Saskatoon, SK, Canada) - See all my reviews This review is from: Getting Started with Lego Trains (Paperback) This is a well written and composed book. The author shares his personal experiences in a very clear and approachable manner. And the best part, there are complete building instructions for making a locomotive, refeer car, and container car. The instructions are prefaced with detailed information about the design decisions that went into making the models. There are many useful sidebards throughout. The whole presentation is great. Lots of color photos to enhance the verbage. This book is a must have for anyone that wants to get a better experience out of playing with LEGO trains. |
