I was wondering if anyone can recommend any web or magazine articles on North American railway operation, i.e. a sort of very basic, introductory "how to" guide on how to realistically run your model railway.
FYI, I model in HO and mainly run CNR and Sante Fe trains (when the layout's in "North American mode" -- otherwise I run British railways!).
I do have a helpful book on how to operate a British layout according to actual, historic railway practices. While I'm enjoying the book, it's a bit too much info all at once. This is why I think I would benefit more from a really good web or magazine article, just to get me started.
Having said all this, I realize that a good book still might be the best way to go. If so, I'll look into getting 1-2 of the books mentioned in this forum.
Thanks in advance for any help!
