Model Railroad Trains for Every Occasion by Tom Coulter
You've probably figured this out by now, but there are many, many different model railroad trains out there, and there is a train for every occasion, preference, and individual. The type of train you choose will depend highly on what you like and what you plan to do with your train set. Many people [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]se to build some rather elaborate scenery, and for this reason a smaller train might be in order.
The most interesting thing about model train scenery is that you can make it as realistic as you want. Many people found that as children they had a desire to control and drive a model train which actually translated into their adult lives. There is nothing wrong with this, and it is in fact a very healthy hobby. There are some people who have dedicated entire rooms in their home to hosting a model train and it's scenery.
You can have winding rivers, realistic trees, cityscapes, and any number of other pieces of scenery. The size of the train will determine exactly how detailed your scenery can become however, and this is something that you will need to take into account when you are selecting your scale.
There are two numbers to remember when you are buying yourself a model train. First of all the sale is the size of the train,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the gauge is the distance between rails. If you are looking for a decent sized train with a touch of realism,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you might try the 0 scale as the manufacturers of these trains have dedicated themselves to a high level of detail. If you have limited room however it might just be a good idea to stick with HO model trains.
The HO model train replaced the 00 train and eventually became common in smaller countries. The N scale however is a bit smaller and is quickly becoming the standard. In essence, the smaller your train is, the more scenery you can afford to create. With the N or Z scale trains you could actually create multi-level scenery quite easily if you want, and if that is your desire, then you might just find that you can create an extremely realistic train route using Digital Command Control.
One thing to remember though is that it can be hard to implement digital command control on some of the smaller trains. This is quite true with the Z scale train considering you can easily fit several Z scale cars in the palm of your hand. You might be able to create your own DCC board for it if you are adept with electronics,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it would be very difficult otherwise.
Make sure you investigate all of your options. There are a great number of model railroad trains out there that you can use with your scenery, and there are some that might take up entire rooms. The choice is yours,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and given enough time you will most certainly find the right model railroad trains!Topics related articles:
