If you have the room, Large Scale trains can be plenty of fun. These layouts are based on classic designs, and offer action aplenty forthe hobbyist. We have shown them with the Pola buildings, though you can do any scenery you please. The track used is Aristocraft, which is good both indoors and out. You can also use the LGB track. For indoor-only outlets, Bachmann track can also be used..
