Getting Started In Model Trains

Mary Beth was inspired by the earlier posting on adding people to a model train layout and asks:

“Where I can get scale model people for my train layout?”

Ron sounds like he urgently needs to read the Model Train Help ebook that will all of his questions and more. However, in the meantime, maybe someone could give him some helpful pointers to get him started:

“I am so new to this hobyy and am not sure were to start. I have two old N scale trains from my youth and also some new track, given to me. I have a limited space in the basement and not sure if I want to stay with N gauge. I am not sure what the new digital stuff is and what it works on? What is needed to make it work? How do I find out what I need to know? See I told you I am a rookie.”
