Model railways have been a source of pleasure and enjoyment for nearly a century and it’s popularity doesn’t look like it’s on the decline any time soon.

A distinction should be made between “toy trains” and “model trains”. The former are literally toys designed to be played with by children. They’re not manufactured for any other reason other than for kids to play with. Model trains on the other hand are aimed at grown ups as well as children but if the truth be told adults are more likely to appreciate the detailing and authenticity of a good model train set.

The most popular model railway gauge in the U.K. is the oo gauge scale.

Although some model railway purists criticise oo gauge as being inherently inaccurate the fact remains that it is the best selling gauge in the country. This is probably down to it being heavily supported by the two largest manufacturers of model trains, Hornby and Bachmann.

There are some excellent starter kits available for the first time hobbyist and if you catch the bug then there’s a world of accessories to add to your layout.

You can have a lot of fun buying oo gauge model people with the sheer variety available. Model passengers, workmen, cyclists even children fighting can be bought to add realism to your railway layout. Even oo gauge animals are available to buy from farm animals to cats and dogs!

No model railway is complete without rolling hills and leafy trees. Again the sheer choice of trees available gives you complete control over your layout and almost gives you God-like status in choosing how the scenery evolves.

Another fun part in building up your collection is choosing what buildings to buy. There’s plenty of oo gauge buildings to choose from and dependant on whether you want a country scene or a town scene or even an industrial scene then there are building to help you fulfil that vision.

We hope we’ve whetted your appetite and we haven’t even started talking about the locomotives available in oo gauge yet!

I’m the webmaster of http://www.oogauge.org a website that specialises in oo gauge model railways.

With a layout that’s designed to make it easy for you to find what you’re looking for we hope you’ll come and visit and either fall in love with the beauty of model railways or simply find something to add to your existing railway set.
