Added some more.
Atlas wiring book 1959 - covers selective routing as well as insulated frogs due to the Atlas Standard Line. Betcha didnt know there was an Atlas Standard Line opposed to Custom. :)

Atlas Custom-Line layout book 1957. Written by John Armstrong. Way more variety here than most people credit the 1950s with, plenty of discusson on operating schemes and layout elements.

I've made two, and am working on a third 4x8 Armstrong layout. The guy was brilliant. Years ago I built the shelf switching layout and incorporated it off the main line. It was pure pleasure to build and to operate. Also did the Grand Trunk Western in British OO. In analog, it was a blast to operate three trains at once. My next, and probably last attempt, will be to DCC the "Waterville Western" in British OO. The two level crossings will make running two or three trains at once a breath taking adventure. Anyone wanting to build a really cool layout needs to check out your books.
Incidentally, our Club has about fifty pounds of surplus vintage brass track, turn outs, and Atlas bridges in good repair. For the cost of shipping and a small donation 1OO% to the Club Roof Fund anyone here is welcome to PM me with track needs. This track would be 1OO% compatible with the Armstrong layout books. One small favor: you gotta post your work to the TF!!! Can't get enough of all the cool stuff people are building!

Folks:
As noted in the Rivarossi thread, I'd be more than happy to sell these off-Ebay to Tyco Forum members. PM me if you are interested and we can work something out.
