Austrian Model Railroad Planning in 1963, American style:

Gaisbach-Wartberg, by Herbert Eisenreich

In 1963, Austrian writer Herbert Eisenreich published a book called "Große Welt auf kleinen Schienen" (German language; publisher: Residenz Verlag, Salzburg (Austria) 2. printing, 1963).

This was the first time I ever read about planning and operating a model railroad layout as a "copy" of the prototype.
