N1  - Defining a "good" layout design -- How the prototype does track planning -- Basic design tools -- Combining track elements -- Benchwork footprints and route types -- Finalizing your footprint and route -- Putting it all together: Part 1 -- the science -- Putting it all together: Part 2 -- the art -- Case study: Frederick MD, 1952
N2  - "This new hands-on book will show how to use tools and elements such as track, turnouts, crossings and scenic elements to paint the "canvas". The reader will learn how to blend the track plan itself with structures and scenery in a realistic manner along with a basic understanding of how real railroads work to help them narrow the layout-design focus, leading to a workable plan for the space a modeler has available." -- Amazon.com
