Recently I went to an art festival that was held in the local train station. Walking around looking at all the displays I found myself in the back corner of the concourse. My eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas morning. Right there in front of me was a huge Model Train Layout. 3 or 4 trains were running at the same time. Passenger trains and freight trains wove their way in and out of cities and towns through the country and between mountains. This got me thinking about dusting off that old box of trains in the basement and putting something together for (me) the kids. They are just about the right age to actually enjoy model trains and it would be something we could do together.
Other than the train around the Christmas tree when I was a kid I never really had a model train layout. What did I know about building one? I did a bunch of research on the internet and turned up a great Model Train Blog Site that ended up being a huge help. They have a bunch of how to articles and even recommend an inexpensive guide that really helped me through the project.
I now have a great Model Train Layout that my kids and I enjoy together.
