Where can I learn about Std. gauge track?

Moonman,

I own a vintage Lionel booklet from the 1916-1920 era. In it are quite a few track plans and diagrams for Std Gauge & O-Gauge. What makes this booklet so unique are the track plans. These are given for both Std Gauge & O-Gauge. With each track plan a detailed list of track required, the overall dimensions of both Std Gauge & O-Gauge. Also, number and type of switches. Given the era in which this booklet was available it covered a lot. My personal information is in my profile.                                                    

Thanks for the tip Pappy. I have a 1954 Lionel operator's manual that is pretty much the same thing for post-war. I didn't know something like that existed.
