Hi, it’s John here…
(Insert your pic here… very important) If you’re not one of my regular
subscribers, let me quickly tell you a little about myself… And then
I’ll tell you what model train resources I recommend… even if you are a
complete beginner, or are an advanced railroader.
Okay… I’ve been collecting, building,
buying and selling model trains for over 27 years. It all
started with a simple Christmas gift. It was an oval Lima HO scale
model train set (which I still own today)… I absolutely loved that
train set…
Every other opportunity for a gift I was
asking for extra track, new locomotives, passenger carriages, building
kits and more… I remember spending hours in the local hobby shop
looking at the large range of accessories and wondering how I could
earn the money to buy them…
Fast forward 27 years later…
And I’m constantly amazed at the fun this
hobby has provided me. It has, and will be, a hobby for life! Not only
has it been fun but I’ve learned so many technical skills… carpentry,
electrical wiring, problem solving and design. I’ve learned to be
creative and developed a hands-on knowledge of geography from making
landscapes. I learned how bridges are put together so they don’t
collapse…
Creating miniature replicas of life has allowed me to enter a different world.
Over those 27 years I have been through
literally every emotion imaginable. Frustration… anger… jubilation;
although the frustration was mostly self-inflicted as I had ignored the
basics!
I think I own most model train
books on the market… every time I wanted to build a new landscape, set
up new controllers or fix a problem… I would buy a book to tell me how.
Here’s The Problem…
See, nowadays, with all the latest
advancements in model trains… being able to control multiple trains
from one controller, steam locos with steam and sound… it is very easy
to make some expensive mistakes.
And this is the exact reason why a few
weeks ago (and after continually being asked to do so for over 2
years), I decided to review the model train “how to” books on the
market…
What Happened…
The truth was, most books were okay… But a
beginner, or an advanced railroader, would have to buy 5 or 6 books
(maybe even more) to get 80% of the information they needed… that was
until I found 2 downloadable books – Model Trains for Beginners and Model Train Help.
I bought both of these ebooks and I refer to them often… they’ve become my only source of information!
The best part is, because they are ebooks,
the authors update them often and you get the updates for free. I can’t
tell you how many books I’ve got on my shelf with very outdated
information… a problem easily solved with these ebooks.
Both the authors also offer a 60 day money
back guarantee… so if the ebook doesn’t suit your needs you can request
a full refund…
Here’s an Overview of Both…
Model Trains for Beginners
Product Rating (5/5 Stars)
Model Trains for Beginners – is my # 1 choice. It is a “must have” system for all beginners to model trains.
It is rock-solid, high quality information for the beginner model railroader.
There is an unbelievable amount of useful
information in this package… even an advanced modeler (like myself) needs
to know and be reminded of the basics. I use this information almost daily,
and that’s after 27 years of experience…
The guide and reports are solidly packed to the brim
with good quality step by step information that can be used for your
entire model train lifetime.
It covers the essential basics from the
ground up… the language of model trains, how to plan, design and create
great layouts that are easy to run and problem free… Through to the
advanced realism techniques like weathering, making your layout look
dated, to controllers and tips for those people that are not
Electricians, and so much more.
At US$47, it is very well priced, as you
would not normally find this amount of condensed, straight to the point
information in one book. You would need to buy 4 or 5 books to get the
equivalent amount of information.

Model Train Help
Product Rating (5/5 Stars)
While Model Trains for Beginners was the perfect resource for beginners, Model Train Help is the perfect resource for intermediate to advanced model railroaders.
It is a detailed 200+ page ebook packed to
the brim with detailed technical solutions. While beginners will find
this ebook overwhelming, the intermediate to advanced model railroader
will find the information incredibly useful. It covers everything from
the language of model trains, to planning, designing and creating great
layouts that are easy to run and problem free, to weathering and so
much more… this ebook has it all.
It is US$39.97, but you would need 5 or 6 books from Amazon to give you all the condensed information this ebook contains in one place.
I always print these downloadable books, as then I can make notes and add to them as I go along.

The Conclusion…
Many years ago I used to build bridges,
rivers and landscapes without referring to a book… but then I realized
how much extra time and money it was costing me… not to mention the
frustration and the fact that they never looked real!
Both these ebooks will give a complete step by step plan and in my opinion are an absolute “must have”.

Now, the truth is… If you browse this site
long enough you will find more than enough free information to answer
most of your questions and get you well-and-truly on your way.
And, if you have subscribed for the free
tips, tricks and secrets, you will be getting a weekly email newsletter
with even more answers, tips and ideas.
But from my experience online, most people
just want the shortcut. They may be time poor, or don’t want to spend
hours on the computer, or don’t know how to bookmark the site so they
can come back to it later…
And that shortcut is to pay the money and
download an ebook. That way you get all the information you need in one
place. It can be read within 2 minutes of paying (even if it’s 2 in the
morning) or whenever you like. The ebook can be read on the computer,
or printed and read offline… It is very convenient!
Have fun with “The Best Hobby In The World”.
