Beginner Needs Help With Scales

Brian is a beginner in the hobby and, like many others, is confused with scales and where to start. Those who have purchased my Model Train Help ebook will realize that these and answers to other questions are well explained in the ebook.

If you would like to give Brian some tips of your own, simply click on the green comments link below this posting. Here is Brian’s question.
“I am getting ready to retire and have been interested in starting model railroading for many years. I do not know anything about scales and am wondering where to start with this so I can end up with something that can be enjoyed, added to and not have more than one scale involved. Any help from your readers would be appreciated.”

One Response to Beginner Needs Help With Scales

  • I have G scale for the backyard, and HO scale in a spare bedroom. The HO is great because it’s not too big, nor too small, to enjoy indoors – especially when the weather too cold/hot and I want to play. I have industrial, mining, city, farm, and large fair/circus areas. In fact, I also use a small N scale train & track in the fair section for the kiddies to “ride”on.
