Operations 106 – An operations bibliography
This bibliography is provided as a means for you to begin your search for more information on operations. There are links to large and small railway sites of note from people that I either know personally, have been referred to by my clients or that I have found useful when I was learning about operations and layout design.
If you have any suggestions for sites that you’d like to see included please drop me a line here: <link to no spam email script>.
