Yeah, I also have a few of the OLD model railroad books. I even have some magazines dating back to the end of WWII. One add that stood out in my mind was a modular steam locomotive set up. You could buy the frames you wanted, then the wheels and matching bits and pieces. I suppose you were on your own for the boiler, but rolling your own boiler seemed to be a regular part of modeling trains in 1945.
Sometimes they have good "forgotten" stuff in the old books, but I usually try to stick to more recent times. I have a book on trackwork that i'm not sure entirely applies anymore!
Also, nice logo, reminds me of the New York Central oval.
