Of course many of us have had our train set in childhood. I myself had a Marklin and enjoyed it until 11 or 12. After that, of course the usual suspects started to become more important in life and that many years later my interests sounded more like ‘girls, booze and parties’ than Marklin could phonetically be twisted.
Still, there are enough of nerds out there who have given hope to get laid up and try to spend their time positively. Constructively.
Finding a cure for cancer? Screw dat, let’s build a model train set.
First you’ll need something like this.
You’ll also need some sheep…
and sunflowers.
Cars and lights.
Your own Live8 concert or was it Robbie Williams?
How about some trains?
But most of all, you’ll need a really big location for your train set.
For numbers and more pictures head over to the Telegraph but let me tell you 700 trains, more than 10.000 carriages, expected to be finished in 2014, fourteen years and 13 miles of railroad track after starting the project. The largest train is 47ft.
Big area is indeed needed if you want to have your own model railway and train set. If you want to know more about the things you need in order to have a model railway layout, check out my site http://modelrailwaytrains.org/.
There are many scales to choose from like N, O, HO, Z, G, and many others but for a model railway layoutyou need only one.
having your own train set requires a lot of preparation so you know hoe to set it up. The different gauges such as O gauge trains and n layout makes for very two different setups. Model trains layouts require a lot of experience to get right.
