I guess the main thing is to ask yourself what does a railroad mean to you. What is it that attracts you to trains?. There are so many great model railroading products available and It's exciting to start buying all sorts of train stuff. But then your focus on what you like might change. <br /> <br /> My advice is to explore the world of trains. Find out what theme you like to model. The Old West, timber, coal, modern day freight and / or passenger trains or whatever. The choice is endless. <br /> <br /> Here are some links to previous threads on Model Railroader Forum where other "Newbees" ask pretty much the same question. They are from my watch list going back about a year ago so the posters aren't newbees anymore. It would be nice if they gave us an update on how they're doing. <br /> <br />[url="http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=32821"]<b>Newby seeking advise, direction, and wisdom</b>[/url] <br />[url="http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15355"]<b>Know any good books for beginners</b>[/url] <br />[url="http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13361"]<b>Beginner question about laying down track</b>[/url] <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
