Introduction to Model Railroading Building Model trains is a great way to spend your time. With the wide variety of styles and scales to choose from you can build something that is uniquely new. The question quickly becomes, “how do you go about beginning your model railway?� There are many things to consider. You have to decide on how you want to build your benchwork, how you want the electrical wired, and even how you want your scenery to work. Before you can make any of these decisions though you need to decide what type scale and gauge model railway you want to design. With all of these ideas in place you can design a railroad as unique as you are.

Deciding on Scale and Gauge It could probably be argued that the benchwork is the most important thing to getting started with your model railroad, but to decide if you have room for the benchwork you first need to decide what scale and gauge railway you want to build. You can’t determine whether or not you have enough room if you don’t know how big of a scale and gauge you want to use. The scale of the train is just like it sounds. It is the scale of the train you want. So what does that mean? Well these model trains are a scaled down version of the real thing. If you don’t want to take up a lot of space you might want to choose a scale as small as a 1:224 scale. The largest scale you will find is the 1:26 scale. Knowing the scale you want will help you to decide the area that you will need for you model. Now scale differs from the gauge, because the gauge refers to the width of the rails. You don’t want to choose a scale that won’t work well with the gauge you want to choose. Often you will find the two terms used in tandem so that you are certain to get the right track for your railway. When you are researching the size of train you want you will find that many manufactures will label them as such N gauge (1:126). N is the gauge of rail that this particular train will use and the scale of the train is 1:126. If you are limited on space you might want to consider the Z gauge (1:224) train. This is the tiniest of the models and there for your railroad system won’t take up as much space as say an HO gauge (1:86) or even a G gauge (1:26). Not only will the scale and gauge of your train determine what type train and rail you will invest in and how large the area your bench will need but it will also help to determine the scale of your scenery.

You can’t very well use a 1:86 scale HO gauge train and then turn around and use 1:224 scale scenery. Your train will just look way too big. Most railroad hobbyists go for at least some semblance of reality in their layout, if your scenery and background are not to the same scale as your train and track then it just won’t work right. Your railway all comes down to scale and gauge. Before you can do the actual building of the system you need to know what scale and gauge to use.

About Layout Scale and gauge are important but you also need to know the layout of your railway. This is just as it sounds, how is the track going to go, where is the station going to go and the scenery around it. Mainly at this point you should just be worrying about how the track should be laid. The layout plus the scale and gauge will help you to determine how big of an area you need to work with and what size your benchwork needs to be. If you are planning to mimic an existing train then you need to do a little research on that train so that you can ensure that you model it correctly. If you are making it up as you go, per se, then you can let your imagination be your guide. If you are still unsure there are many books and sites to help guide you in some sample layouts to help you get started. Many first time model railroad enthusiasts take this last path to make things go smoother for them. Whether you are going from a book, from a real railroad, or just your imagination you need to plot out your layout on paper. This will help you to determine the supplies necessary to achieve this look. You might discover that your layout is too big for your area or that you have more room to work with and then you can adjust accordingly before you build your bench or even buy your first engine. It will help you save not only a lot of time and money but you won’t be as frustrated and can actually enjoy your new hobby more. During the designing of your layout you will also determine if there are any rivers, gorges, or canyons. If so you will need to build up your track area on the bench so that you will have the canyon or gorge that you want to cross. Here is where you will also decide a rough draft of what kind of scenery and plan everything out. By doing this you can a few of the common mistakes that will make your new goodtime hobby more of a frustrating nuisance. By taking

the time to do this sketch work you will find that building and running your railway much more entertaining.
Building Your Benchwork You’ve picked the area that you want to use for your model railway. You’ve done your homework and you know what scale and gauge train and track that you are going to be using. You have even designed your layout, another important piece of the equation. Now you need to have something to build it on. That is what the benchwork actually is; it’s the surface that you will be building your railway on. While there are many options here you need to decide on something that is big enough for your railway and something that is sturdy enough, so that when you have your train, rails, and scenery on it, it won’t wiggle and threaten to fall apart. There are some people who want to use plywood for their first layout. This might be a good choice if you can make it stable enough to not rock while you’re running your railway system. If you are good with tools and your hands, then you might find a lot of pride in building your own benchwork. This way you can ensure its stability.
Pre-made benches are always an option . . . Many first timers though might prefer to purchase something that is already made. Many hobby stores sell premade benchworks, but some assembly will be required of course. This way you don’t have to worry about cutting and measuring. All you have to do is assemble the precut pieces. Think of it as an entertainment center or desk you buy from one of those big name discount stores. You bring the box home and all the pieces are there with all the screws, nails, and other hardware you need to assemble it. The directions are generally simple to follow and are step by step to make it as easy for you as can be.

Of course you don’t actually have to build or buy a pre-made benchwork for your railway. If you are unsure that the area you are starting out in is the final home of your railway or if you don’t have the money to invest in an elaborate bench at the time, then you could use and old table. It wouldn’t be recommended to use the dining room table because you want a place that will be a mostly permanent home. You might be able to find a nice old table at a yard sale or consignment store that will do the trick. Many of these are sturdy and can hold everything you need.
The least you need to know about benchwork . . . Bottom line is, you need a benchwork that is sturdy and of course big enough to hold your railway. You also need something you don’t mind drilling some holes in so that you can secure your track. This is the foundation of your entire system. There are some people out there that have no choice but to start out on the floor because price is an issue. It can be a temporary solution until you can find the benchwork that will do what you need it to do.

Wiring your Railway System Once you’ve decided on you scale and gauge and have a place to build it then you will need to make it go. It’s probably important now to talk about wiring your system. You need to consider this at this stage of the game because you will want the railway wired before you start putting your scenery together. This way should you wire the system on top of your bench then you can set up the scene of your railway around the wires. There is more to wiring your layout than just powering the rails. You will also use this wiring to power your town and countryside. All your peripherals will run off of the wiring that you will run along and under you bench. With that in mind you need to decide how much power you are going to run.
Wire gauge is important Before you hooking up the electricity, you need to think about the gauge. Wire gauge is the most important thing about wiring up your railway. There are two types of wires that work well with railways. You need to choose between solid or stranded. The stranded type is probably the most popular type, since it is easier to bend and is more robust and less likely to crack and break if you bend it repeatedly. But it’s not as easily connected to the terminals. The solid type connects to the terminal easier. So the type will depend on which is more important for you: easy connection or simplified bending. Once you decide between the two main types of wires you will also need to decide what gauge. Again this will be determined by how much you will be running on these lines, and what size the power supply is. If you don’t choose the right size gauge you can have issues. If you use a gauge that is actually too small for what you are trying to accomplish you could, at best, have a lot of resistance. At worst you could have a fire risk. "Discover All You Need to Know About Model Trains And How to Create An Amazing Layout In Just 7 DAYS!" - Click Here For Details
10
The best gauges:
Track power bus – 12 to 16 gauge Track Feeders – 18 to 20 gauge
Remote turnouts – 22 gauge Lights – 24 gauge
More than just the wires You also have to have a command module. This is where your power supply resides along with the controls to turn on the power to the various pieces of equipment. Some of the newer trains might use a digital command control. This will allow you to run multiple trains from one power unit without blocking off the tracks. It is recommended that if you use one of these digital command controls you should have at least two of the regions on separate circuit breakers. Do your research; wiring can be complicating and nerve wracking. You need to make certain that your power supply is large enough for all the things you want it to power. Also know what type of train you have. If your engine is supposed to be DC powered don’t get and AC power supply, it won’t work correctly. If your track is a three rail system it is most likely be an AC track. This is something you need to pay attention to when you are purchasing your pieces. Most importantly, once you have everything wired, or actually while you are wiring your system, you need to mark each line. You need to label them for future reference for when you should have to troubleshoot your railway. Don’t let them bunch up and tangle so that it will be easier to track later. Having them straight and neat will make these things nicer.

Making it more than just the track on a board by adding Scenery Scenery will make your railway more than just an oval shaped track. If you want your railway to be a representative model of an existing railway then you need to start with pictures of the actual station and area. This way you are sure to get the structures, trees, and other accessories just right when it comes time to put it all together.
Homemade Sceneries Scenery can be both simple to do and time consuming to do so. It really doesn’t take much to make scenery. You can use items from around the house. Want your railway to be going through snow? Try using flour. Rocks, twigs, and leaves from outside make great additions. Toothpicks and old brushes can be transformed into trees. There are a million ways to use supplies you already have to be your scenes.
"Discover All You Need to Know About Model Trains And How to Create An Amazing Layout In Just 7 DAYS!" - Click Here For Details
12
Homemade scenes will make you proud of your work and will truly help you to make it your own. But it does take time to create the pieces you need before you can even add them to the bench. If you are short on time you can buy premade scenery. If you do that make sure that you buy it so that it will look right with the scale and gauge of your train. You don’t want to have mammoth rocks and people compared to your train. Many people do a little of both, make some of the pieces but buy items such as lights, buildings and cars. This is a good way for you to get the correct look to some of the main pieces, and not worry about the additional pain of wiring something you’ve created.

13
Background Scenery While on the subject of scenery you need to be thinking about your background. The background scene is what your train will be running against. In other words, what you see if you step back away from the bench and look at the train from a distance. What kind of horizon or backdrop is back there? If you don’t add some background scenery there will be nothing back there but bare walls or whatever else is behind your benchwork. The easiest way to make a background is simply a picture. You can find many pictures of beautiful scenery online that don’t have a copyright attached. This means that you can download the picture and use it freely as much as you want. Many people take these pictures, blow them up into poster sizes and use them as the backdrop of their railway. The good thing about using a preexisting picture, though, is the fact you can change it as necessary. If it’s a picture of bright green pastures you might want to change it to a snow covered scene for the winter time and vice versa. If you are a good artist you might paint or draw your background scene onto a large sheet of paper or on the wall, if you know you’re going to be leaving your benchwork in that spot for an extended period of time. No matter if you paint it or download it, your background scene will help to tie your setting together.

Ballasting for Realism Another subject that should be discussed while on the topic of scenery is ballasting. In a short summary ballasting is the rocks and sand that lie under, between, and around the railroad ties. The purpose of the ballast in real life is to keep down the vegetation, drain water, and distribute the load across the railroad ties.
For model railway purposes the ballast is simply to make the track look more authentic. If you aren’t going for realism with your track but whimsy, you might be inclined to skip this part. That being said, even if you aren’t going for a realistic train setting ballasting can make your track look much neater. The great thing about ballasting is that it already comes pre-made. You can pick it up at any local hobby store. Should you be making a model of an existing railway, you really should make note of what color ballast they are using. This is because the area often uses whatever rocks are available to them. So you should choose your color accordingly. If you don’t have a particular railroad in mind or can’t find an exact match you can always use more than one ballast pack and mix them to get an effect that will look wonderful. If you have several different types of areas in your railway, such as an engine yard or maybe even a coal yard, you can use different ballast colors in these areas than you would along the rest of the rail. It gives it more of a realistic feel since the rocks ballast in these areas in real life would be a slightly different color than those along the branch lines.

15
Pay attention‌ The important thing to remember when you are doing your ballasting is to be very careful with your glue. You will be spreading these tiny rocks all around your track you don’t want to inadvertently glue one of those little pieces to the track and cause problems when you are trying to run the train. Check your track over once you are finished so that you can ensure there is no dried glue or ballast on the track. A good way to ensure there is no glue on the track is to wipe down the track with a wet cloth as you finish gluing down the ballast. If you do this be sure not to disturb the ballast.

Building the Bridge Trestles If you have designed your layout to have at least one bridge then you are eventually going to have to cross it, in a manner of speaking. Once you have your track down, some of the basic scene work done you will need to go ahead and build your bridge. This will include the trestles, or supports, that hold the bridge up over the water, gorge, or canyon you have added to your layout.
Like with the scenery you can build your own trestles. Since trestles can be made out of steel, wood, or concrete, you have a wide array of looks and materials to choose from. Like with everything else if you are mimicking a specific railway line then you will need to make sure your trestles are made out of materials that will mimic what they use. But if you are unsure or unskilled in these manners you can purchase pre-made trestles for you railway. This might be the easier way to go, trestles can be made but they can be a time consuming process. If you are planning on building a modern railway you might want to consider using a steel or concrete look for your model. Modern railways don’t use wood anymore because it can be unstable and break. This is something you need to keep in mind. If you aren’t going for authenticity or are replicating an older model railway system then wooden trestles will make a nice addition to the décor of your railway.

17
Building from Scratch If you are new at the model railway game you might want to buy many of your scenery pieces from the hobby store. It will make things go smoother and you can have your railway up and running quicker than if you build everything from scratch. But there is something to be said about building from scratch. As you learn more about styles and designs of model railroading you will probably be making a lot of things from scratch. This is a great way to get a sense of pride about your work. You will also find that many of the items that you do from scratch will be cheaper than buying the ready-made ones. Homemade items such as trees and landscaping can be made for next to nothing, you can make many of the things you need for these items from around the house. If you are good with woodworking you can even make the buildings from scratch. If you don’t know how to get started on cutting out the items you need then you can find patterns on the internet and in books to build a variety of buildings. After you trace them, cut them out, and put them together you can the paint them any way you choose. If you are uncomfortable tracing a pattern and then cutting it out, don’t worry. You can purchase pre-cut buildings from your local hobby store. These are all cut out and ready for assembly and painting. You can still say you built it even if you didn’t cut it out. Building from scratch is a great way to add your own personality to your model railway.

Weathering to age your railway Especially if you are planning on replicating an older railway, or just building one that is supposed to be older, then you are going to need to weather your railway. You will not only have to weather your tracks and your train but be sure to date your scenery as well, buildings will need to be weathered as well.
Sometimes the simplest approach is best. Possibly the easiest way to get the weathered look is to simply use older models to complete your railway. You can find many of these pieces at antique stores, flea markets, or online. There is also a variety pre-made weather items that you can purchase from your local hobby store. Weathering chalk can be purchased from the local hobby store. It is infused with plastics to make it adhere better to the metal surfaces of the tracks and train. If you purchase them from the hobby store you can find them in a variety of color such as rust, sienna, black, as well as the primary colors. If you don’t want to purchase this from the store you can make it yourself out of plain children’s chalk wrapped in either plastic or paper. This will help the chalk adhere just as the weathering chalk does.
"Discover All You Need to Know About Model Trains And How to Create An Amazing Layout In Just 7 DAYS!" - Click Here For Details
19
If you don’t want to use chalk you can purchase pre-made weathering washes which can be painted on. It gives the rails and trains its rusted look. It is very easy to apply as you can either paint it on with a brush or spray it on with an air spray. It’s all in how you want it to look and how comfortable you are with using a sprayer versus a paint brush.
For the Do-It-Yourselfer If you are all set to make your own weathering solution it can be very simple just add some steel wool, such as one you’d use to clean your dishes with, to a bowl of vinegar. This will take a little longer than just driving down to the hobby store and purchasing some weathering solutions that are ready made. It will take several days to a week for the vinegar to break down the steel in the wool. Once it does, however, you can apply the solution with a paint brush. The steel in the solution will react with the oxygen in the air and form rust. You can paint it on all your structures, wood or medal to get that rusted outlook.
Weathering not just for trains and track. . . If you plan on having some dilapidated or run down looking buildings you can weather the paint on those as well. A great way to weather them is to paint them with a base coat, something that will be just a little lighter than the final coat. Once the paint is dry then cover the structure with rubber cement. When you put the cement on don’t spread it neatly, put it on in dabs. Once this dries paint on your final coat, the dried rubber cement will give the paint a cracking and flaking appearance, perfect for old buildings. Adding these weathered buildings and trails can add character and personality to your railway. There is something about having a flaking paint building in the setting to make your town a little quainter.

Adding Sound and Light What would a working railway be without some sound and light? While not necessary to make your model railway go, it just wouldn’t be the same if your engine didn’t make sounds and your homes and street lights didn’t work.
This is almost like a finishing touch to your masterpiece. If you are going to do sound most people go all out with it. They don’t just do train sounds but birds, water (if you have any rivers or creeks in your masterpiece), and the bustling of traffic on the side streets. It can make the entire thing seem even more lifelike. If you plan on putting a sound system with your train then you need to remember that most people can’t really hear the low level sounds. It’s a nasty human problem, only being able to hear certain sound range. You might have to add a bass boost to your system so that you can hear the rumbling of the recorded train better. When you add sound you need to make sure that you add scale appropriate sound. While you will need to add a bass boost to be able to hear the lower end sounds you aren’t going to be able to hear some of the finer sounds of an N gauge and the appropriate scale, than you would and O gauge train. The O gauge is larger so you would expect to hear more of the fine sounds that go with it. The same goes for lighting. It makes the town so much more realistic if you take the time to wire up your town. This is the reason that you should have a control box that has multiple controls. If you are running during the day you don’t necessarily want all the lights on in the buildings. If you are running "Discover All You Need to Know About Model Trains And How to Create An Amazing Layout In Just 7 DAYS!" - Click Here For Details
21
through your town at night then you probably do want your lights to come on. But the addition of the lights along the streets and in the homes and other buildings in the town will make things look so much more authentic. Sound and light, while not a necessity sure make your model rail way look that much more realistic. These are wonderful additions to any railway.

22
Cleaning Your Tracks Over time your tracks will become dusty and dirty. When that happens, it’ll be time to clean them. As with any piece of electrical equipment, you will want to remove the power first. This is probably the most important thing to remember, as you don’t want to worry about either shorting the system or giving yourself a shock when you try to clean it off. You can purchase cleaners to wipe down the tracks. The debate is of course over what type of cleaners to use. Some of the most popular are water based cleaners. Of course if the crud is really stuck on the track then a water-based cleaner will not always get it off. Also it can oxidize some of the stuff stuck on the rails which might corrode the couplers on the track. These types of cleaners include the popular cleaner sold at the store as well as many other household cleaners like 409 and Windex. Another popular type of cleaner is the oil-based types. When a cleaner is talking about being oil based it’s not talking about automotive oils; it is referring to refined mineral oils such as sewing machine oils. These oils are good at getting the crud off the rails that the water based types can leave behind. The oil stays on the rails for quite a long time which does help to protect the rails from a corrosive atmosphere, especially if you live in an area with salty air. They do take forever to dry so that could be a problem if you want to clean and go. The last type of popular cleaner is the solvent based cleaners. These are just as they sound: they contain solvents that will clean the rails of the dirt, dust and other crud. There are good solvent based cleaners out there and there are bad cleaners. You want to avoid any toxic cleaners. These can damage your railway as well as be toxic to you and others in your home if you’re not careful. You also need to watch out for the fast evaporating cleaners. These are good cleaners but they don’t stay liquid long enough to finish cleaning your rails. These types include things like contact solution. You want a non-toxic
"Discover All You Need to Know About Model Trains And How to Create An Amazing Layout In Just 7 DAYS!" - Click Here For Details
23
solution, such as Goo Gone, that stays liquid for a long period of time. They dry quickly and remove all the crud off of the rails of your railway.
Rails aren’t the only thing . . . When you are cleaning your rails don’t forget to clean the train. You need to be sure to clean the wheels and under carriage off completely. You don’t want to transfer the same junk back to the freshly cleaned rails because you forgot to clean off the wheels. Besides the whole point of cleaning the rails is to ensure good contact with the train for electrical contact, when you don’t clean the wheels off as well you are contributing to the disruption of the electrical current between the train and the rails. It’s advisable to use the same types of cleaners on both so that you are sure to get the same amount of cleaning. If you use a water-based cleaner on one and then turn around and use a solvent on the other you might be inadvertently leaving crud or oxidizing the one that you have used the water on. By taking time to clean everything you will ensure that your train will run smoothly. Set up a regular cleaning schedule, that way you won’t have to put up with the frustrations of having derailments because of dirt and dust.

The Least You Need to Know When you are starting your model railway it’s important to do your homework. If you take your time and research your scale and gauge choices and decide the exact layout of the train tracks you will be sure to have less frustration and confusion once you get started. Take your time and plan out your course of action before you go buy the first thing. Nothing can take away the fun and enjoyment of a hobby than constant setbacks. It can be a fun and exciting hobby. There are many options for you to choose from. Don’t be intimidated by some of the finer points of the hobby. If you are unsure of how to do some things like building a bench or fine tuning the scenery, don’t allow it to keep you from enjoying yourself. Many of these things come in pre-made packages for those who are just starting out in the hobby. While building things from scratch can make it a touch more personal, learning those things will come with time.
