The model train scale you choose to model in will depend on what you want from a layout and the space you have available. So, think carefully, before you choose which scale you want to model, because depending on your available space (and budget), you can achieve different things with each train scale.

Think about whether you want to see long trains running quickly through a town or countryside scene. Or, would you prefer a small compact model train layout featuring a branch line terminus and small goods yard with lots of small shunting moves? With model railroading there is a lot to think about before you choose which train scale you will model.

Happy Railroading!
