In the Guide to Prairie Railroading from Kalmbach, noted Model Railroader author and editor Tony Koester discusses modeling the railroads of North America\'s heartland.

The nature of prairie railroading allows modeling these lines on narrow shelves, which maximizes your layout space whether you\'re dealing with a large basement or two walls of a spare bedroom. This book is filled with both modeling tips and prototype information including how to model many types of farm fields: corn, soybeans, wheat, and more.
