Solve space problems with shelves! Shelf layouts don't need benchwork or floorspace and can be set at any height, easily lit, and readily moved. This book explores the possibilities, practicalities, and challenges of linear layout design and presents a variety of prototype layouts with construction details.

Iain Rice is a retired firefighter who earns his livingá designing, custom building, lecturing, and writing about model railroads both in the U.S. and in Europe. His byline has appeared on 20 modeling book titles and more than 350 features for UK, U.S., and European magazinesûincluding regular contributions to Model Railroader and Model Railroad Planning. He was recently appointed áa contributing editor to the Layout Design SIG's authoritative Layout Design Journal. A small-layout man from inclination as much as as necessity, Iain currentlyáhas four compact fine scaleámodel railroads of his own, all in shelf format: Two British-prototype in 4mm/1ft scale, a Dutch ôlokaalspoor,ö and a Maine Central branchline terminal in HO. All these models are exhibited regularly at UK and European train shows and meets.Formerly married with two daughters, most of Iain's family live on Wolfe Island, Ontario, where he spends as much time as he can. But his current home is an historic 200-year-old stone cottage in the far west of Englandûan on-going restoration projectábetween his frequent travels and a home base for his younger daughter Bryony, an aid worker currently serving in Cambodia. Aside from railroads, Iain's other interests include hiking the wild hill-country on his doorstep, gardening, conservation work, and researching local historyûon which he also writes.
