Selecting A Model Railroading Theme To Model

Model railroading offers so many different options, that it sometimes pays to stick with a theme. Perhaps select an historical era that you are interested in and then select your trains, building and scenery from that era. For example: a model train layout depicting California logging railroads in the 1920s might interest you.

Researching a railroading theme can be particularly enjoyable by adding to the fun and also making the model train layout seem more realistic.

Assuming you have a favorite period in railway history, then you might want to base your model railroad layout around that. The alternative is to cover a wider time frame for your model train layout. Think carefully about what time scale you want to model your train layout on.
