The scale is very good for newcomers because the trains can also run on the HO scale track. The HO scale is the most popular in the entire modelling community so this makes good sense. It also means that people can move from one type of train to the next should they wish, without having to buy new track each time.
Recently, Bachmann model trains have built for the high-end market which means more collectors are have become interested in purchasing their model trains. They are not only interested in the high-end market though. They also deal with the very popular scales of O and HO.
O and HO scales are widely used by model train enthusiasts all over the world. If you are a beginner the most people recommend using one of the two scales listed here. This is because you can gain experience very quickly and the skill level needed to create track layouts is not as great.
These two scales also offer a lot of possibilities when it comes to design and experimentation. The O scale is perfect for children as it’s not too small and intricate. Often children will break or damage model trains when the scale is too small for them. A good example of this is the N scale.
If you do decide to start with the HO scale then you will have a wide variety of Bachmann model trains to choose from. You can find trains and locatives from many different eras and dates. This is what gives them a good percentage of the model train market. They are able to cater to everyone’s tastes and offer a broad range of model trains to choose from.

Help with how to install/mount Kadee no. 5 couplers on HO scale tyco operating hopper cars?
Hi, I am building my first HO Scale Model train layout and right now I am in the process of changing all of the couplers on my cars. I have 8 tyco operating hopper cars, but they have different types of trucks. Some of them have a metal truck with a permanently attached draft gear box. I can not get it open to exchange the couplers. Some other hoppers have Bachmann couplers (I think they are called horn hook) that are not magnetic, they just couple themselves when they are forced together. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
do you have an NMRA coupler guage for HO
they can be found in your local train shop
for most couplers you can open up and replace the old one for a kadee
unit but watch the spring inside doesn't go flying
set in place and check the height with the guage
for those trucks you can't open consider replacing the whole truck with a new one that has a kadee unit in it already
most modellers who replace their couplers also reposition the coupler onto the carbody so the truck can freewheel through curves without the twisting that happens with truck mounted ones
this will provide a stronger mounting for the coupler and reduce derailments
I also reccommend replaceing all trucks and or wheelsets with good quality free rolling ones as most tyco trucks dont roll freely
this is an easy thing to find out as a car with free rolling wheels will roll down any non-level track as soon as you put it on
if it doesn't roll replace both sets
this will reduce the wear on your locomotives and allow you to run longer trains
