Model Train Track Tips

Article Category: Recreation

Author Name: Kellie

Collecting Model trains is something that requires good eye and imagination. While there maybe train kits available that you can buy assembled and ready to go, there is something mystical about creating your own model train track. It is something that you can be proud of and show to your friends and buddies as a work of art or a hobby that you have taken seriously. Read on and see some model train track tips that you can use to improve the look of your train kits. Starting off with the scale, also known as gauge, you should choose a scale that will suit any of the following requirements: Your preference, and cost of maintenance. While bigger models like the G scale is preferable, if you are limited in space then it would be advisable to take the HO model which is fairly small but still can accommodate details that other scales will not be able to fully display .

Your next stop is the type of rail you will use. Today, the nickel silver track has become very popular due to its sturdy build and longer lasting use. It resists oxidation better than traditional rails made up of iron or bronze. However, it all depends on your preference. Some people who are nostalgic would want to stick to the traditional tracks to have that rustic effect. After choosing your rail, you should ask yourself what is the theme of your model train kit? Would you prefer your train to be a passenger train or a freight train? Your answer to these questions will spell the difference between your design and the overall look and feel of your train kit. Determine the purpose for which you plan to use your model train kit. Another item to consider is the location and era of the train. Some steam trains become popular prior to the 50's so you might want to look at how it looked like during those times. Also, the location is important because it will help you in choosing which railroads you will use.

Now that you have the basics down pat, it is now time to concentrate on the details. If you plan to have model train kits that run through tunnels, it is advisable to blacken the insides of the tunnel that you will create. Using flat black color will add to the mysterious effect of tunnels. Also, you should buy custom tunnel portals instead of just a cut out board to make it more in tune with the real thing. In addition, your ballast should have a dark color in the middle of your track the purpose of which is to sway the attention in most O scale tracks that have a middle third rail. To add color and vibrance in your layout, use operating signals at the crossings. Flashing lights add realistic feel to your layout so use them wisely. Kids love these in particular. Creating a good model train layout involves attention to details. Make your cars and vehicles laden beside the tracks realistic. Give attention to details like taillights and bumpers. Another often forgotten detail by most is adding more people around your layout. This will add the pizzaz in your design and adding people across the streets, or beside a platform is never too much. These are just some of the model train track tips you can use to improve your design. Apply any of it and see how it could make your layout better looking than ever.
