I'm 55, and brand new to model railroading. I'm not sure where to start, as you all can probably imagine. I've looked through the books at the hobby store in town, and I'm not sure they cover what a real beginner needs. I'm looking for basics like what tools to have, how to find an engine and cars for a particular period. Things like that.I believe I'm interested in narrow gauge, either HO or N. I've run into things like HOn3, and I gather that's HO size cars that run on N gauge type track. That seems handy but I can't imagine that the N gauge track would look right, since the ties would be spaced wrong. Also, I have no idea where to look and what to look for in the way of rolling stock for such a railroad.I'm interested in a logging or mining type of small layout at first. So, if anyone can point me to a web site, book, or somewhere to gather the type of info a really new person should go to for help for the above, I would appreciate it.
