Starter Model Train Sets And What To Expect

Whether you are a beginner, or experienced railroader, all trains set starts with the basics of a train and some track. Well, there’s a little more to it than that.

A typical model train set would include: at least one locomotive, three, four or five freight cars or trucks… and enough straight tracks and curved tracks to make an oval layout. A basic model train set would also include a power pack (transformer) and some wiring that runs from the track and the power pack. Those are considered the basics of model train sets.

A starter model train set is a good entry point for a beginner to this exciting model railroading hobby.
