Construction means modellers homeless is a post from: Model Rail Roads Help

We thought it would be cool to mount a Flip MinoHD on a flat car and record a friend’s train layout from the riders point of view. Unknowingly, I forgot to be sure the camera car was coupled onto the front of the locomotive and it got away from us. As it rolled away we didn’t realize the camera was not going to clear one of the tunnels going into the next room.

Question by Erik: I have a 1976 Lionel Train Set Model I am trying to value?
This train set was found in a storage unit that defaulted and I have no idea what it is even remotely worth. This is “The Black River Freight” model 6-1662. From what I have read this was only produced in 1976. Everything looks to be there with the exception of a few peices of track. I am having a garage sale this weekend and am curious if this is an item that should be sold or if it has value should it be auctioned off. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Best answer:

Answer by V.
Try looking for “The Standard Catalog Of Lionel Trains, 1970-2000″ at your library. It’s got all the price information for sets, cars, anything that Lionel made in that era.

Layout building handbook : For operators of Marklin Ho Trains (Previously titled Greenberg’s Model Railroading with Marklin Ho) is a post from: Model Rail Roads Help

The model railroading hobby has a rich history, and every type of train has it’s very own story. Take the O model railroad for example. The O gauge is actually the 0 (zero) gauge and was created to be smaller than Gauge 1. This gauge was created by the train manufacturers due to the fact the smaller scale trains were selling better than the large scale models.

The reason for this was generally space. Many modelers were doing much more than just watching the train go around in circles. They were in fact creating elaborate scenery, and they simply could not do that quite as effectively with the larger trains. In 1929 it became clear that a depression was in the air and as a result the market for larger scale trains went down the drain.

Before the second world war, the sizes of the O model railroad trains varied greatly, but they were all capable of running on the same track. This made them highly compatible and even interchangeable for hobbysists. The O scale was truly setting a standard that many people never expected to see in their lifetime.

Following the second world war when materials were more plentiful these trains suddenly became more realistic than ever before. For the first time they were becoming larger and resembling real world trains. Hobbyists were becoming truly interested now and could create a real landscape in which their train could navigate.

Though they were quite realistic in their time, they only improved their aesthetic appearance through the seventies, eighties, and nineties. One thing to note though is that the O scale is nowhere near as popular as the H0 or N scale which are a bit smaller and more convenient. The one advantage that the O scale can claim is a more detailed exterior. Smaller models simply could not do that, though they can be fairly close to real-world trains.

The O model railroad is a choice, and it is one that you will have to make as the modeler. Make sure that you weigh your options and of course determine whether or not you really have the room for an O scale train in your home or building. It can be more difficult to build scenery for a larger train if you do not have an adequately sized house, and that may further you need for smaller trains. If you have the room however, or simply wish to enjoy a basic train without the scenery, the O model railroad might be your best bet.

Just remember to assess your needs and make sure you are doing the right thing. Choosing the right model train and accessories is never easy, and the true choice will come from within. So long as you remember that you will do great, and you might even find that the O model railroad is for you, especially if you’re interested in using a piece of model train history that simply never gets old.

The 2009-2014 Outlook for Electric Model Trains and Railroads in India

This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for electric model trains and railroads across the states, union territories and cities of India. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across over 3,800 cities in India. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it’s state or union territory and of India as a whole is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-a-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each state or union territory and city, latent demand estimates are created for electric model trains and railroads. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might

Railroad Chalk Color: White (part# 88819) Reviews is a post from: Model Rail Roads Help

Starting any new hobby always brings a sense of anticipation and Model Railroading is no exception.  Once they have been to a train show, or have simply seen a model train layout displayed somewhere, many people become excited by the possibility of operating their own train setup.  This excitement often leads to a sense of being overwhelmed and sometimes sticker shock, after visiting a hobby store and looking at the huge array of model railroad supplies available and the wide range of prices. 

Well, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming and it doesn’t take a fortune to get started with model trains.  The simplest layouts consist of a small oval track and an locomotive with a few cars.  It can be set up on the floor, a simple table, or even an old door or piece of plywood on two saw horses!  Often when you talk to experienced hobbyists, they talk about the need for a strong custom bench and lots of room to set up your layout, but don’t let that stop you from getting started.  You can graduate to a more complex and expensive setup as you get more involved in railroading.  As a beginner, you may not even know in what areas you are most interested.  Do you enjoy the different locomotives and rolling stock which comprise your trains, or do you prefer building the scenery and making the miniatures look realistic?  Maybe you prefer wiring the electrical control parts of the track or configuring the software to work to your liking.  One of the best things about model railroading is the wide range of skills that you can learn and put to use.  There is something for almost everyone to enjoy. 

The other nice thing about this hobby is that you can do as much or as little of it yourself as you like.  Some of the most popular model railroad supplies are kits for just about every aspect from trains to tables to scenery, to electrical wiring and software.  These range from simple all inclusive starter kits to kits for individual parts designed for the more advanced modeler.  You can buy train and scenery kits separately or kits that include both.  The kits themselves can be either completely finished and ready to set up and run, or do it yourself kits that require more complex construction, painting and assembly.  Once again, it is easy to get started with a simpler kit and upgrade to something more complex as your needs dictate, and budget allows.  These kits also vary in price and complexity depending on the scale or gauge with which you decide work. 

Starter train kits can be purchased for as little as or but most will want one of the kits in the 0 range.  These train kits can be specific to an industry or a type of train, steam or diesel for example.  Starter kits typically come with a 4′ by 3′ oval track, a locomotive, several cars and a simple transformer and controller. 

Scenery kits, building kits and layout kits vary widely depending on the components and how much do it yourself work you want to do.  A building kit for a simple small town with 15 buildings can be purchase for about 0.  Layout kits, which provide the base for your layout including materials for hills, valleys and tunnels start at about 0.  Scenery kits which contain materials for trees, grass, rocks, etc. start at about .  Each of these can be purchased individually as the need arises. 

Software for model trains starts at as little as for simulation software, and layout controllers at about 0 but you don’t have to have either of these for your first train setup. 

Any of these model railroad supplies can be purchased at your local hobby store.  Hobby shops are usually very helpful because they want you to keep coming back .  They can provide a hands-on experience and the chance to talk to others who know what it is like when you are just getting started.  They can often help you avoid common beginner’s mistakes that they have already made.  These items can also be found at local model railroad shows and conventions. 

You may also find these items locally advertised or at yard or garage sales or auctions.  All model railroaders were once beginners and you can often find bargains on trains from the hobbyist who is ready to trade-up.  Be sure to do your research before buying from these sources so that you know the value of what is being offered.

As you can see, there are many sources of model railroad supplies for beginners on any budget.  One of the great things about this hobby is that you can get involved as deeply, or as little as you like.  You can begin with a simple kit and advance in whatever direction your interest takes you.  Some hobbyists never make their own scenery, preferring to enjoy simply running their trains, while others get involved in every detail down to making their own coal and logs and plants!  So get started.  You’re going to love this!
