What is the best book or starter kit for a beginner with Model Trains?

Question

One of my best friends mentioned years ago that his dad did model trains and had a big model train table before his dad passed away. He mentioned that he wanted to make something similar to it when he gets older, in part because it’s one of the few memories he has of his father. I’ve only recently remembered this conversation and I thought a starter kit or an informative book for beginners might be good for him as a birthday or Christmas present. Does anyone know anything about this hobby that might be able to make some good suggestions?

Answer 1

Great Idea... the books I'd suggest come from Kalambach Publishing (they print Model Railroading Magazine):

They have a nice SERIES of book that cover the basics, and also that deal with "realistic" operations and design of the layout. Here is a link to get you started: http://kalmbachcatalog.stores.yahoo.net/model-railroading-books-model-railroading-for-beginners.html

ONE I truly suggest is "Realistic Operations": http://kalmbachcatalog.stores.yahoo.net/12231.html
