Introduction to Scenery part 1
When it comes to doing scenery I love it, because you get to make your layout allot more cooler than it looks. When I do it, I think real-life, nothing is perfect in this world but it may seem that way, but it isn't. And the little stuff in your train set and in your scenery will make a big difference. I simply just chose a spot on my bord. the drew on a peace of paper what I was going to do and based it off that. I used a late spring early summer turf grass,( you can choose your own color to). The turf has to stick to something so I use Scenic Cement to put the grass down you just simaly brash of some of the glue put how ever much grass you weant on it the put the glue in a spray bottle and spray it on top of the grass and let it dry.

Track
Laying your tracking is the very first thing you have to do. You want to draw the track on a piece of paper and go off that. That's what I did for mine. The next thing you would want to do is nail the track down. The simplest tracking that I would go with is E-Z track it is easier to snap together and it is simple. If you want some movable parts you don't have to nail it down.

What do I start out with?
If you wanted to start and get into model rail roding you have to start out with something. If you are confused to start with read here. First you've got to have a train, Simply deiced on what train you would like from steam to diesel. Go look and go to a Hobby store close to you to get some ideas. Next go to a hard ware store and find a good solid board(witch ever length you want it).After that is done you are ready to lay your track down, to keep it from moving use track nails make sure that they are for your scale. Then there you have it you have just started your model train!
Model railroding
Why I love model railroading is it's a cool Hobie, and it takes time and and you have to be Persis at it. When it comes to doing something like this you try and make it as realistic as possible. It can be really hard at times but you get it done and it looks really cool. Rail roding uses a simple scale of HO,N,Z,O. The best one that is most common is HO because it's an in be tween scale. N scale is getting a little bit smaller and is some what common. Z is super tiny and is not common. O is really big and as popular as N scale. THose are just some of your basic scales.
