There's a nostalgia associated with model trains and railroading
-- even if it's unspoken. Railroads take us back to an earlier era.
A more basic time. When spending a week or more on a train was seen
as a luxury -- an event in itself -- not at as merely a mode of
transportation.
You've probably already scouted some model railroad shows.
You've no doubt recognized the camaraderie and the passion these
folks have. And yes, you're interested in becoming a part of
that.
"The Wonderful World of Model Trains" will help you do just that
It's a comprehensive guide to model railroading written for someone
who is new to this hobby, starting with some basic "train
knowledge" & terminologies, and continuing on to the more
detailed aspects of the hobby.
And yes, this hobby can indeed get quite detailed. And that
tends to be intimidating to some people. The beauty of this hobby
is that you can get involved at just the level you care too. You'll
discover that every model railroader is in it for the love of the
trains and the history. The vast majority of us are not out to make
a fast buck from our interests.
