Scenery & Layout Ideas
Starting with favoratism on diesel locos, not necessarily in this order: Athearn, both old Blue Box and the new ones; the new Atlas series with the new and well over due improved frame and fuel tank design– much improved; Life Like Proto series, especially the GP7’s, GP35’s and GP30’s; Kato SD45 and SD40-2; Bachmann’s SD45 — that’s it on the diesels. Freight cars run gambit: Athearn; Atlas Trainmaster; Branchline which helped fill in many hard to find eastern road names prior to the Conrail era; the old Con-Cor; the old MDC (pre-merger with Athearn under Horizon) red box freight cars; Walthers and Exactrail. # # #
As an ordinary user (who much appreciates the ideas on this site) I have used Hornby, Bachmann and other manufacturers commonly available.
Hornby I have found a good starter but expensive. Their scenery and buildings are ridiculously over-priced. Bachmann products are more expensive but well worth the money if you can afford it.
This website is great for ideas, but please keep feeding in ideas for new learners – they will be future customers. I would not mind repeats of past ideas.
My 15 year old son and I are building a 15ft X 15ft railway in our attic. We have all the rails down and we are working on scenery.
Please can anyone suggest additional websites for ideas and support?
Thanks
