In many ways, railroads helped to shape America: opening up new avenues for trade; connecting coasts; making travel more affordable; and more! 

This post looks at railroad history in Syracuse, New York, once known as "the city with the trains in the streets."

How do you figure out which brand of model trains and accessories to buy?  A lot of train collectors will remain loyal to one brand, but many others 'mix and match,' choosing items based on rail line or theme instead.

Model train layouts come in all shapes and sizes, as they are usually built for the space available.

No space for a traditional train layout? Some model railroaders get creative and make a layout that hangs on the ceiling! 

Many collectors enjoy running scale versions of real-life trains. Other model railroaders prefer creating their own trains by combining cars from different rail lines or eras. Both options (or a combination of these!) are great ways to showcase realism and creativity!
