New Resource For OO Gauge and HO Scale Railroaders

The Beginners Guide To HO/OO Trains by Tom Hobson has just been released. It is an ebook that can be downloaded to your computer, burnt onto a disk, or printed out for handy reference. It will benefit many in the hobby and focuses on OO gauge and HO scale.

ho scale videoModel railroaders choose the scale they want to model for different reasons. Some prefer bigger trains; some like lots of scenery and track so opt for a medium scale size such as HO or OO, whilst others are more limited for space and choose N scale or even smaller scales.

There is no right or wrong scale… it really comes down to personal preference and/or space and budgetary considerations.

That said; the biggest selling model train scale worldwide is HO scale (1:87), with the UK equivalent OO gauge (1:76) being the number one size in that part of the world.

If you are interested in building an HO scale or OO gauge layout then this ebook is a good starting point. After all, the more you know, the less mistake you’ll make.
