Consulting Services

     There are many things to consider. How big, how wide, and how accessible is the area being considered for a few? Are there any restrictions to the area under consideration? The area designated for the layout may determine the manufacturer of engines and rolling stock since some equipment requires a greater turning radius.

      Do you want the railroad elevated or on the ground? Consider whether the layout is for you, children, or adults; it may make a difference.

     Would you like to model a period, such as the 1880s or 1950s, with steam and diesel or steam only? And is there a budget?

     Once you narrow down some of the initial considerations, It’s time to consider equipment tools and select your first train purchases.
