If you are learning how to begin your “model railroader at work ” in your home, there is great advice on forums and in train magazines. If you are just beginning your adventure into modeling trains and railroads, you may wish to check out the information to get started.  There are a few basic things to know that will help you in your decision-making when it comes to model railroad planning and design. Three major concepts to think about as you plan your model railroad:

~Theme

~Scale – Tiny N scale to larger G scale.

~Display – To decide in your model railroading adventure, how you will show off and operate your trains.

Do you want a huge train layout, or a small switching layout on a shelf, or something in between? There are other possibilities and considerations as well.

Are you building this railroad for your own enjoyment? Will you have friends helping you and participating in the operation of the railroad when it is completed? Is it mostly for your children or grandchildren to enjoy? Will it become part of a larger club layout? Do you want to build a small scene that you could sell at a craft show or on eBay?

There will most likely be some limiting factors that may enter into this decision also, such as space, time and monetary considerations.
