Whether your just starting out or a diehard model train enthusiast, coming up with a theme for your model railroad track plans is the first step towards an authentic layout.

There are a lot of really awesome themes to choose from when setting up your model train. Some things to consider when deciding on a theme are:

Season... A good place to start is deciding on a season. Obviously you have spring, summer, winter or fall.

Location...Have an idea of where you want your train to go. You could choose to have your train go through the Appalachian or Rocky Mountains, through the plains of Nebraska or Kansas, or even a specific route from one city or station to another.

Trains... You may decide to run a specific train line. Like Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, Santa Fe, Chesapeake & Ohio, CSX or Amtrak for example. Pay attention to the location here. If you want an authentic layout, be sure to match your train line up with the actual route it ran, and during the time frame that particular line operated in.

Time Period...Choose a time frame when making your model railroad track plans. Are you more partial to steam or diesel locomotives? Or perhaps both! The steam engines ran mostly pre 1950 and then the diesel locomotives took over. You could even decide on the transition period (late 1940's to early 1950's) and have both, a diesel and steam locomotive.

Other things to consider when deciding on your model railroad track plans, are the type of train you want to go with. When you're setting up your model train there are a lot of possibilities.

For instance, is your train gonna carry passengers or freight? And if you are gonna have a freight train, then what kind of freight will it be hauling.

Freight Train Cars...Your train could haul logs or coal, or have refrigerator cars, tank cars, regular box cars and so on. There are a lot to choose from. Take your time and get a good idea of how you want your train to turn out.

Passenger Trains...If it's a passenger train you want, you will surely find everything you need. From the 1860 Northern Pacific railroad wooden combine car, to a super sleek Amtrak Superliner coach car. If you include passenger cars with your train, unlike the freight cars they tend to be longer in length. With there longer length, they are better suited for track layouts that don't have tight turns.

There is a lot to think about when putting together your model railroad track plans. Take your time and have fun setting up your model train. Go with the things that appeal to you the most. By giving consideration to these options first, you'll end up with a much more realistic looking train set.

Coal Miner's Daughter (DVD) $15.61 The story of Loretta Lynn, COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER charts the rise of the queen of country music from her upbringing in backwoods Appalachia to stardom at the Grand Ole Opry. One of eight children, she married at age 13 and was a mother of four at age 20. Shy and naive, she was pushed into music by her husband, Doolittle, who gave her a guitar instead of a ring for their wedding, in what was to be a career that also tracked her complicated relationship with this man. His strengths helped her create numerous hit singles, but his weaknesses inspired such immortal songs as You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man. Sissy Spacek won an Oscar for her virtuoso performance, mimicking Lynn's voice nearly perfectly, while Beverly D'Angelo solidly impersonates Patsy Cline; unlike other music biographies, this film features both actors using their own voices in the singing scenes. Country music legend Ernest Tubb also makes a cameo. For director Michael Apted, COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER is one in a series of films--AGATHA, GORILLAS IN THE MIST, and NELL--he has made about strong, eccentric women.
