Ho Model Railroad Scenery
Model Trains For Beginners?
Hi, My brother and I just decided to join in on the Model Train/Railroading fun but we are very very new to this. Do you have any tips on Trains or scenery or setting it all up? I think we're going to build on a HO scale. Any and all tips would be appreciated.
There is a lot of information out there, maybe too much. The National Model Railroad Association NMRA.com has a good site with a section for new modelers. Another site I would suggest is 2guyzandsumtrains.com Don't run out and buy a bunch of equipment until you have some idea of what scale, layout size, era, etc. Then again, you can always sell off things that no longer fit your needs.
I advocate getting your feet wet with a rather cheap engine and some cars. Lay some track and run some trains. You will learn a lot of skills that will serve you well in the future; such as roadbed, track-work, wiring, scenery, structures. If there is a model rr club in your area try to visit and make friends.
Happy railroading.
