Don't Let Model Train Sets Be a Limit On Your Dreams

When I was a child and my father would take me to the toy store, I remember scanning the shelves, always looking for the model train sets as they completely fascinated me. There was just something about the look of the locomotives that I found entrancing. Then one day, I was lucky enough to get a model railway set all of my own. As you can imagine, as a young boy, this was the most amazing day ever! I still have it packed away in the attic somewhere I think.

 

However, even at that age, I found that it wasn't long before I grew tired of that railroad set. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I got bored of model railway trains completely. In fact, quite the opposite had happened. The problem was that I had just outgrown driving my model locomotive round and round in circles. I was able to get a few additional for my set, which gave it a bit of extra life, but it wasn't long before I was craving something more.

 

Now what's the point of me telling you this I hear you ask? Well, the reason is that if you are looking to get into model railroading, buying a model train set first is probably not the best way to start. Although I got bored with mine, I would still probably suggest buying one for a child, to see if their interest will last and also because they are easier to get set up than other model railways. However, as an adult who is serious about wanting to get into model railways, I would suggest against it.

 

The problem is that like I mentioned earlier, you could soon find that your model train set becomes extremely limiting in it's potential. Of course, there are far more accessories available for most model railway sets now than there when I was a child, but still I would opt for buying all the parts that you want separately so that you can create you own model railway, to the particular specifications that you want. If building a model railway has been a dream of yours that you are now choosing to pursue, you don't want to compromise on this, do you?

 

You may think that this will make it more expensive to get set up in the first place and it may be if you don't do your research properly. Model railroad sets do normally have a cheaper overall price for buying it all as a package. However, if you know where to look and the tricks to pick up cheaper model railway parts, you could actually put your own set together, tailored to your wants and needs and all for cheaper than the price of a model railway set would cost you in a shop.

 

Hopefully having read this, you will now have a better idea of how you want to go about starting you own model railroad and how to do it the right way.

The Little Train That Would Not Die $41.29 Starting with a little known Indian Battle on top of the Cumbres, and moving rapidly forward in history, the story of The Little Train That Would Not Die creates a tale of the West seldom told today. While some of it was lived out in the 1800s, the major portion of this book centers around the heroic efforts of ordinary men accomplishing the impossible through ordinary means in the 1960s and 1970s. It is a story packed with action, adventure and passion that interweaves with the lives of General William J. Palmer, Bat Masterson, and singing star, Gene Autry. But most of all it is a passionate tale of the lives of men who dared to dream big and found success even when the deck was stacked against them. They were train buffs, steam fans, senators, family men. They were men who saw a piece of Americana slipping away and they were damned if they were going to let that happen. Like my father said, they were the most over enthusiastic, unbusinesslike fools that ever set foot in shoe leather, but they got the job done and the Cumbres Toltec Scenic Railroad is their living monument of hope to future generations. This is their story, but its also mine. As a 9 year old girl, I rode on the Cumbres Toltec when it first started out. By the time I was 14 years old, I was drummed into Engine 463s boiler maker corps working along side my dad and three other guys, forever losing my heart to that little engine. I remember the blisters and aching muscles, the heart ache and joy. It is my hope that a piece of that has been capture on these pages and that this train will go to future generations forever being The Little Train That Would Not Die.

Freight Train $23.76 This simple book introduces young readers to colors and to the proper names of types of train cars. The book begins with the words A train runs across this track, and an illustration depicting an empty set of train tracks. Boldly colored illustrations then show a red caboose, an orange tank car, a yellow hopper car, a green cattle car, a blue gondola car, a purple box car, and a black tender car--all of which are attached to a black steam engine. At first, the train is stationary, but as the text progresses, the train picks up steam as it travels through tunnels, by cities, and over trestles. The book then comes full circle, once again showing an empty set of tracks, this time with only a whiff of smoke as a reminder of the train that quickly passed over them. Combining two popular children's book subjects (trains and color identification), FREIGHT TRAIN was inspired by the author's childhood fascination with freight trains and is a 1979 Caldecott Honor Book.
