A train set is a wonderful way to start off in the entertaining hobby of model railroading. They make a great gift for both young and old. If your child or
grandchild shows an interest in trains, consider buying him or her a train set to start them off in a life-long hobby.
Train sets come in various sizes. Almost all will have track and the power supply; everything you need to get started. All you have to do is determine how much space is available.
The smallest train set will be "N-scale", which is a ratio of 1:160. The most popular size is "HO-scale", which is 1:87 and therefore slightly bigger. For those with enough space
or for around the Christmas tree, you might want to consider "O-scale", or 1:48, about twice as big as HO-scale. For really impressive trains, especially around the Christmas tree
or for outdoor displays, consider "G-scale". G-scale, or G-gauge, has a number of ratios, the most popular of which is 1:29. All G-gauge trains sets, however, use the same size track.
A number of our train sets are on sale right now! See below for more details.
Don't know which set is right? Call, or better yet, come by the store and we will be glad to show the size difference. We have a display layout in the store so you can readily see the
most popular sizes.
