Where To Start For when Buying A Model Train Set

June 5, 2006

Before purchasing a model train set do your own research to familiarize yourself as to what’s available. Surf the net because there are lots of useful hobby and model train sites. Also, read hobby magazines or model train books. Search for information on the model trains that most interest you.

Surfing the internet you’ll see that a lot of model train sites specialize in certain aspects of model railroading or different scales such as HO scale, N scale or Z scale model trains. Many of these model train websites offer in-depth information and excellent model train tips and railroading ideas that will help increase your knowledge and stimulate your creative juices.

Search the internet for model train retailers and find out as much information as you can online. Re-visit the hobby shops in person (spend an hour or so in each) and ask more questions. Shop around and then shop around some more.

Happy Railroading!
