About

Welcome to Model Trains 101.  I truly appreciate you taking the time to visit this site.  It is my hope that you will find useful information to assist you in taking your basic starter package train set (that is only set up for a few days on the dinning room table) and turn it into an enjoyable model railroad layout you will be proud to run and display for years to come.  Model Trains 101 was created to provide numerous tips and tricks to assist beginning model railroaders in their effort to build their very first model train layout.

The focus of Model Trains 101 is to guide new model railroaders with designing a small, but detailed 4x8 HO scale model railroad using the various components of the E-Z Track System developed by Bachmann Trains.  As you will discover, the Bachmann E-Z Track System is not the only track system that can be used to build a model railroad.  I have selected the Bachmann E-Z Track System for two reasons:

1) The Bachmann E-Z Track System is simple to use has a wide variety of items in the product line and is designed with quality and durability in mind.

2) I have actual experience using the Bachmann E-Z Track System as I am currently helping one of my nephews build a small, "L" shaped HO scale layout in his bedroom using various components of the product line.
