 Its Pelle Soeeborg, What Else Do You Need to Say !?!? July 24, 2010
Gadgeteer (VA USA)

If you're not aware of this guy's work, boy do you have a pleasant surprise ahead! This book however is not intended to showcase Pelle's work (though it does that too very well), but rather it is a series of "simple" / "short" projects that even the average model railroader of modest skills can follow and accomplish to improve various elements of his/her model railroad. The beauty of most of the stuff that Pelle does is that its generally common-sense stuff. Except that he thought of it and you didn't, and that's why he's the author and you're just wishing you were! :-) I love seeing Pelle's work. He has a number of other books available (do a search for him either here on Amazon, or else on Google to dig up more). He has a very interesting style along the lines of "less is more", and yet his scenes are spectacularly "realistic" even for all their supposed "simplicity". What he's not telling you is that you have to pick the *right* "less" to include, to pull it off. Pelle's got the eye and the talent for seeing and simplifying to basic essential ingredients, and he's got the awareness and the patient ability to explain how he does it in terms that the rest of us mere mortals can understand (and pretend we can accomplish :-) Seriously though, kidding aside. This is a good book for any model railroader looking for some rainy-day projects. Well worth the money.
 Not much use for steam era February 24, 2010

The books ok, would have like to have seen some steam engine detailing, but in typical kalmbach fashion, i suppose i have to buy a different book for that. also, not much coal hopper detailing, if any.
If you model current era diesel, then this book is for you.
Done in a Day - brilliant do-able projects April 15, 2009
O. Robinson (Perth, Western Australia)
After starting a lot more modeling projects lately I have a keen eye for what kind of projects I think I might be able to do that are within my current limitations. And this book is full of them. It is one of my best recent model rail purchases. Hats off to the writer and publisher.
An invaluable resource for model railroad hobbyists everywhere March 13, 2009

Done in a Day: Easy Detailing and Weathering Projects for Your Model Railroad is ideal for model railroad enthusiasts who love their hobby but don't have a lot of time. Filled cover to cover with weathering and detailing projects that take no more than a few hours, Done in a Day teaches the reader how to rust the roofs of old auto carriers, make easy pipe and coal loads, model a neglected Santa Fe Warbonnet diesel, add DCC decoders and lights to pre-DCC locomotives, and much more. Each project is illustrated with up-close color photographs for every step of the creative process. An invaluable resource for model railroad hobbyists everywhere; even those who aren't short on time are sure to appreciate these simple yet creative detailing projects.
Pelle Soeeborg is a master of realistic model scenery March 7, 2009
Randy P. (Long Beach, California USA)

Pelle Soeeborg has published many articles in Model Railroader and I am constantly amazed at how realistic his scenery is. You can see some of his work just by Googling his name.
Although I have not yet received this book, I am such a fan of his that I will devour anything he has written ;-)
I've been reading Model Railroader for about 30 years, and in my opinion Pelle is among the greatest modelers of realistic scenery.
