Train sets!

First topic message reminder :

that is a matter of discretion, but so far it's been my old house, my current job, and my trains

Can you include a picture?

it's just a one ended stretch of track, with a bumper or rail stops on one end

perhaps these websites could be of some help to you Brandon:

there you are, some good examples

I just want to see what looks like, I know what it is by now

I am guessing it was just a long stretch of track for the train

it is a single ended stretch of track, with a bumper or rail stops on one end

turntable is finally working properly! yahoo

Cool, how long did it take too fix yestersday?

Can I ask what is this thread about?

Model Train sets, mainly its been about @1mtvfan and @TigerTankFan 's train set, but any would be considered on topic.

Yes, but train set is?

isn't it kind of obvious what a train set is? you can find them anywhere, at least in North America. I dont know if they are that prevalent in Europe

Oh, I google it. Sorry. I saw that only at movies

ah, then you have your answer

A train set is a are mini model trains, you set the up on a table hook a transformer (to put power to the tracks) and any accesories you want.

I'm Technician for Mechatronics. I know how it works

Thanks anyway. I will check thread to learn a little more about it looks cool. Maybe I can make something similar at home at summer. I setup all electric installations at house, how hard this can be

well, one has to pick a scale to model, because there are many scales of modelling, but HO Scale, Called OO scale in Europe. is the most popular

Here is some sites I pulled from google that may help you get started:

Hope some of those will help you.

To be perfectly honest, 1mtvfan and I got bitten by the model train bug back in the late 1980's (when there were quite a few companies offering model train sets).

yea, quantity, but not quality

Did you like my links guys?

yes, i have lots of stuff from those companies, except for the UK one
