Each of the 123 different layout designs in this book were created by Jerome A Lepinski and are believed to be
original designs for layouts, if someone has one of these layouts it is by coincidence. This is not a compilation of the
layouts that are free to view on modelmotorist.com. or a compilation from any other source. These layouts are designed to use
as much track and cover as much of the table surface as possible with flat track sections.

If you are looking for a source of excellent HO scale slot car layouts, Jerome really provides the
best examples in his new book. It is called Book I: Flat Land as these layouts are intentionally designed without using
any level change tracks like hills, slopes and banks. There are 123 different tracks to build as shown or use as a
starting point for your own modifications. The chapters are broken into two, four, six and eight lane layouts and each
specifies which track brand possesses the required track sections to construct the layout. Plenty of great ideas for
casual home tracks or serious competitive racing layouts.
