Model Tree Train
The Joy Of Model Railway Trains
Model railway trains have the potential to play a very big role in your life. There are some who dedicate a lot of time and effort into building trains and layouts from scratch in order to create the most realistic environment possible. For many, it is not even about the finished product that drives them to create. They are made happy simply through the art of creation. People have been known to spend decades working on a single train in order to make it look exactly the way they want it to. The joy you find in your Model Train is sure to be your own.
Christmas is a time of year in which many homes employ model railway trains to circle the tree. This has become a tradition in families even if they are not model train enthusiasts. Those who do enjoy the hobby a little bit more can be very creative in the Christmas themed layout they create to either go around the tree itself, or on a tabletop nearby. Most can remember the train they had as a child and want to recreate that same memory for their children. Others still want to start a tradition in which they share the fun for generations to come.
While model railway trains can be highly individualistic in nature, it can also be a very good social builder. With many different clubs in existence for those who love model trains, it is possible to find one in your area. It is fun to get out and show off the creations you have while enjoying the creations of others. Talking about model trains with others who enjoy your passion can give you ideas and invigorate you to get back to work on your current project. Model train clubs are a great way for those who are new to get ideas on how to get started.
Sharing your passion for model railway trains is a great way to create stronger bonds between family members. Many fathers have included their sons in projects to create great layouts they can both be proud of. Trips to the model shop as well as the hours spent on the layout create memories, which will be cherished for years to come. The layout itself will stand as a testament to the value of teamwork in creating something you can all be proud of. Chances are if families get involved in a project such as this, they will pass along the tradition for years to come.
For many, the biggest joy of model railway trains is the amount of detail they are able to give it. Being detail oriented requires a lot of attention, which means you will not have the ability to think about other things. Concentrating this hard on what they are doing allow many model railroaders to forget about other aspects of their lives. They view their model trains as a great escape from the daily grind. In fact, most model railroaders look forward to working on their models more then most anything else.

How many plan to run trains around the Christmas tree this year?
Trains have been running under trees for most of a century now. It's time to dig them out and do a little service work. Clean the tracks with a green scrubby and oil the motor and gears. Check the wires from the transformer to the track, if it's missing any insulation replace it. Model Railroading the hobby that lasts a life time.
We'll have three trains this year. Two that mount up inside the tree and one on the floor.
Of the tree trains, one is N-scale with an 1880's era Steam Loco and three Passenger Cars. We have some N-scale foam tunnels that help keep the branches off the track.
The other tree-train is toy-like, a little larger than HO, but does run on a DC transformer. Both have a circle of track mounted on a frame to the tree trunk.
On the floor we'll have a G-Gauge Christmas train with Santa sticking up out of the locomotive's cab and elves on the cars. The track runs around the tree, narrows to parallel lines under the coffee table, and then makes a loop in front of the fireplace. We'll park the train under the coffee table when we're not running it. This is an expansion of what we've done before and we're talking about a siding under the coffee table where we can park a more realistic passenger train and then alternate which of the two trains we run.
The G-scale track plan is complicated enough and has tight clearances to make the S-curves fit so we'll mock it up on the computer first using the 3rd PlanIt Model Railroad CAD software (www.trackplanning.com).
