Buying Your First Model Train

Nitin Agarwal

In this article, I am going to discuss a couple important things to know before buying your first model train. I know firsthand how that very first trip to the model train store can feel.

Space and Scale

When you purchase a model train, it has a “scale” associated with it. The majority of model train enthusiasts love the HO scale because it takes limited space for a regular setup and the detail is nice. O scale model trains and accessories are typically more expensive, but they are worth it in my opinion.

Requirements

It is possible to setup your own model railroad piece by piece or to buy a complete kit. You can run other trains on the track. If you bought a HO scale set, you want to buy HO model trains in the future.

Some Things to Look For

When buying your new model train, look to see if it is DCC enabled. You want to have your train DCC enabled, if possible, so you can run other trains at the same time with ease. Your model train store will only have a very small fraction of the model trains and accessories that are out there.

I recommend that you look for a model train store in your area and go talk to them. The probability of finding someone who really knows about model railroading in detail at a general hobby store is minimal at best.
