### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book on Benchwork
*by T***L on August 16, 2022*

I have been out of the hobby of model railroads for a many years. A lot of things have changed over the years. I just got back into the hobby. This book has some good ideas and techniques on benchwork. I am looking to using this book for my new layout.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alright, feels dated.
*by A***W on August 9, 2024*

I’m not sure if it feels dated because of the photography style or the obsession with free standing tables when a lot of people make shelf layouts nowadays. It feels like the shelf layout information is an afterthought at this point. I feel like some of these books could also focus on points like how to actually build on open benchwork and how to mount switch motors if you do in fact have the open benchwork and especially on foam. Good information, just lacking.
