I’ve recently started to build my model railroad after about 25 years since I last had my hands on any model trains and I have so many questions. I want to start my questions by getting users options on what brands of structure and building models I should be looking for my layout. The local hobby shops I’ve been to do not have much to look at compared to what I’m able to find on-line. The problem I have with on-line is I don’t know what I’m really getting till I get the items and I figure if I like the models I’ll waste my budget on return shipping.
I’m thinking of building my first layout to be a modern era railroad and I’m still looking into what scale I want to use. I’ve narrowed the scale down to HO or N. I would like to build in HO since there are some many more resources and they are more life-like but I don’t have the room I need to build a larger scale railroad. I know I’m not the first to have this issue with what scale to model but that’s for a later post.
I would appreciate anyone’s thoughts on the qualities of the different structure models out there and what companies or model lines I really need to avoid if I want to build with the most life-like models.
Thanks,
