What To Research Before
Selecting Your Model Train Set

Before purchasing a model train set do your own research to familiarize yourself as to what's available. Surf the net because there are lots of useful model train sites. Also, read hobby magazines or model train books. Search for information on the model trains that most interest you.

Surfing the internet you'll see that a lot of model train sites specialize in certain aspects of model railroading or different scales such as HO scale, N scale or Z scale trains. Many of these model train sites offer in-depth information and excellent model train tips and railroading ideas that will help increase your knowledge and stimulate your creative juices.

Search the internet for model train retailers and find out as much information as you can online. Re-visit the hobby shops in person (spend an hour or so in each) and ask more questions. Shop around and then shop around some more.

Your Knowledge Of Model Train Sets

The more you know about model trains, the less chance that you'll be taken for a ride (excuse the pun!). Some shop assistants and internet retailers just want to sell... and others may misunderstand your needs and sell you the wrong thing. However, in saying that, in general hobby shop staff have a wealth knowledge and are happy to share their ideas. Also the more research you do, the better you'll get to know your model train scales, styles and which model train manufacturers you prefer.

Toy stores sometimes carry train sets, but often they specialize in the lower end or battery operated model train set market. Hobby stores are generally more specialized and cater more for the experienced model railroading enthusiasts. They sell more challenging electrical model train sets and offer choices from more manufacturers than do most toy stores. Specialist model train hobby stores usually carry a full range of model train accessories, as well as railroading books, magazines, DVDs and train videos to help you get started. The other advantage is that model train hobby shops typically service what they sell. Although there are exceptions, model train hobby stores generally have shop staff who are knowledgeable about model trains.

Before you purchase your model train set think carefully about where you�re going to display and built it. Select a space where your model train set won't get damaged... and where you have room to enjoy the model train set... and work on... and operate the trains with ease. And, if possible, room enough to expand onto your model train set. Yes, that's something to consider � is it going to be permanent, or is the model train set going to put away after each use?
