Ho Gauge Trains
Best model railroad for beginners?
I'd like to start a model RR project with my 12 year old daughter this winter, we have a large basement with plenty of space. I can do the railroad on a hobby table or we could set it up on the floor (?).... I didn't know what gauge to get? I used to like the older Lionel trains (O-gauge) but I'm wondering if HO is better if you are on a budget and a beginner at Model Train sets?
N or HO Gauge will be more cost effective to start out. If you have a railroad yard in your town, that would be a great modeling idea. You also can get ideas from Train Modeling magazines or books at your hobby store, or library. Enjoy.
