Picture yourself looking at a train, the first thing you will notice is the tracks in which the train moves along. It looks like a snake making patterns along a landscape. The next thing that captures your fancy perhaps is the locomotive itself. It is the main motor that makes the train run along the tracks. But a locomotive is not complete without the railroad cars connected to it, that is why choosing several railroad cars that you would put into your collection is important. It will spell how your train layout will look like overall in the end. Basically, there are two types of model trains. First is the passenger type, which means exactly as it is, it carries passengers to and fro. The other type is called a freight model train, this on the other hand carries goods from one point to another.
