Are you new to Trainz? Do you know someone who might be interested in learning about Trainz? How about a retiree who no longer has a place for a scale model layout? Or a younger person who doesn't have space or who is interested in computer simulations?If any of these shoes fit, you will find John D'Angelo's new ebook "Railroading On Your Desktop" fills a major need in introducing people to this great hobby of virtual railroading. The book is available in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format at Lulu, an electronic publishing web site for $7.99. Just follow this link.
As many of you know, John joined me at Virtual Railroader right after I posted the first issue of Virtual Model Railway Journal (now Virtual Railroader) and has been with me ever since. Between the two of us we have accounted for roughly 95% of the approximately 300 articles at VR (I lost count years ago). Those who are familiar with John's many articles know he has a natural way of describing things and making the complicated into something understandable. He also is know for his inventiveness in exploring the possibilities of Trainz.
"Railroading On Your Desktop" is an excellent introduction to the capabilities of Trainz and includes instructions in many areas. I commend John in his new book venture and heartily recommend it to anyone new to Trainz (old timers may find some new things here, too).
Cheers,
-- Al
