What book is that? And you mean "The Model Railroad Shop."

I honestly cannot remember the title. It was Red and Blue, if that helps (at least, this is what stands out in my mind). and yes, i got the hobby shop name wrong. Its the only one on the shelf though, so if you asked them about it, they'd be able to walk over and take a look.

Check out Imperial Hobby's table at the Mass Transit Modelers meet in October at Rutgers in NJ. He usually has at the table his ACMU, M1-M3 resin (not like working with plastic) shells as well as anything he has new. Microscale in N scale has Metro-North and MNCX decal sets in N scale. Good Luck modeling!
