| Here are a few links, mostly related to the "simpler" aspects of model railroading as well as the ones I've mentioned elsewhere. This area is new and a work in progress, so if you know of any other links that might be appropriate, send me a note and I'll add them. (And please let me know if any of the following links are broken.) |
Vendors / Supplies | Bachmann Lots of model trains and train sets. From what I've read (and experienced) while their trains might not be known for the highest quality, they are still very good and reasonably priced. I've been happy with my Bachmann equipment and wouldn't hesitate to purchase more. (Bachmann also hosts a user forum.)

Periodicals | Model Railroader Magazine Most likely you've seen Model Railroader Magazine. It's a "go-to" type of publication for the hobby. Besides the magazine, I subscribe to their Video Plus - some very well-done videos (a bargain at $2.25 a month if you're a magazine subscriber). They offer other train-related publications, DVDs, and many other products. Check out the Kalmbach hobby store. They also offer a membership to trains.com, with access to electronic versions of all Kalmbach Publishing's train-related magazines.
