    It’s pretty hard to get train sets in certain countries for various reasons. You’re best bet would be to find an international website that trades or exports train sets to a certain area. This might be a little time consuming but it’s worth it in the long run. Happy railroading!

    Models are a Hornby Pacer (a rather dated model), and a Bachmann 158.

    Great Idea… the books I’d suggest come from Kalambach Publishing (they print Model Railroading Magazine):

    They have a nice SERIES of book that cover the basics, and also that deal with “realistic” operations and design of the layout. Here is a link to get you started: http://kalmbachcatalog.stores.yahoo.net/model-railroading-books-model-railroading-for-beginners.html

    ONE I truly suggest is “Realistic Operations”: http://kalmbachcatalog.stores.yahoo.net/12231.html

    I think the best way to sell your estate, Is First to go to Yahoo Groups and sign up, this is free to you and there are 395 groups in H O Scale you can join any number of groups for free and the master list that you would see will tell you what each group is doing, Also you need to take pictures of the trains (not) individually but as units as for incenses get all one railroad name together and take a few pictures then!!! look on ebay at the trains and see what they are asking in price. for like the engines and box cars so on or if you cant take the time to do that you can always ask the Group owners to help out, Being a group owner if you want to send some pictures to our group i would more than happy to help you come up with a price my group name is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bigrigtrucks87/

    What is the best book or starter kit for a beginner with Model Trains?
    One of my best friends mentioned years ago that his dad did model trains and had a big model train table before his dad passed away. He mentioned that he wanted to make something similar to it when he gets older, in part because it’s one of the few memories he has of his father. I’ve only recently remembered this conversation and I thought a starter kit or an informative book for beginners might be good for him as a birthday or Christmas present. Does anyone know anything about this hobby that might be able to make some good suggestions?

    Model Trains?
    Does anybody know where i can buy a northern spirit for an 00 gauge model railway. I can’t find one anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.
    The Northern Spirit I’m looking for is in either a maroon livery with a cream N on the side or a turquoise livery with a green N on the side

    What’s the difference between scales on model trains?
    What’s the difference between what’s called HO scale model trains and N scale model trains? Which is easier to find? Which is more popular?

    My oldest son is almost at the age where we can start doing projects and I remember playing with model trains with my grandfather. He had a HUGE setup in his house, but I can’t remember any details about it.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    What is the best way to sell model trains?
    A relative left me na estate with thousands of model trains and i’d like to sell them. Ebay isn’t really an option because of the amount so i’m looking for an event where I can sell them or a website that will buy lots of trains. Some have boxes some don’t. There’s a wide variety of companies and HO scales.
