Hi Fellow Model Railroaders! I'm brand new here just moments out of the production line
I have purchase about 600$ worth of random items (a few locos, about 10 rolling stock cars, and two or three track kits) from ebay. They are all in the mail. I did buy one cheap BNSF rail chief kit from hobby lobby ha ha as a starter, but its still in the box. So I'm reaching out to this place as a recommendation from one of the people I bought off of in ebay. I have no idea where to begin.
I've got a few tables in my small apartment (I'm single, and plan on turning my apartment into a HO scale dominated layout) that I intend to use. Mostly my initial thoughts are to create a yard and a mainline travelling from the yard across my living room then a small loop back to the yard. But again, Please bear with me on here because I'm brand new and I don't know how anything works! I know I need to wire the track somehow for power, but that's about the extent of it. I'm fairly creative and crafty and can use a sodering gun (don't own one yet).
I would appreciate any good resources and advice and hope to make some good friends on here
I've got a KATO D9 and a few older EMD (junkier cheap models) 4 axle locomotives on the way. I only have the one power module that comes with the cheap bachman BNSF railchief kit. I'm open to purchasing some quality wiring modules .
OK enough rambling. And thank you for the time Much appreciated! Any and all comments welcome! Happy Holidays!
