You’ll often find that places where you see model trains for sale, you’ll also see model train accessories for sale. When choosing model train accessories you can buy accessory packs with everything included, or mix and match individual items to suit yourself.
There are many accessory packs available for your model railroad layout, and here are just two examples:
The Timber Depot Set: everything you need to set up your own lumbar yard.
The Operating Conveyer And Tipper Set: you can send your coal up the working conveyer belt, then use the tipper to load up your wagons with coal.
Many more things are available as separates, including things such as:
People: ‘city’ people, ‘town’ people, or ‘working’ people. They come standing, sitting, or riding a vehicle.
Farms: farm vehicles, farm workers, various buildings and animals.
Landscape: rocks, stones, and boulders made from materials such as fiberglass. You can also purchase portals and viaducts made from the same materials. They come in all shapes and sizes, and although you’d swear they weigh a ton they’re light as a feather.
One of the most popular model train accessories is the bridge. There are many different styles of bridge around to suit your layout. Bridges can be brick, stone, metal, or wooden effect. You can also purchase metal style footbridges, which look very effective.
