Before long the desire to add more accessories to make a more realistic model can turn this into an ongoing project that can grow in intensity. Everyone will have their own favorite accessories and layout but there are 5 items that are a must to add realism and interest to your railroad model. 1. Train Station The train station will probably be one of the first buildings added. It's the focal point for starting and ending and the town can be built around it. 2. Lighting Railroads can have various types of lighting. Background lighting will give a nice subtile realistic effect or street lighting will add a nice backdrop while working on building or adding to your town or city. These lights may be just decoration or practical for giving your streets a lifelike glow. 3. Train Cars The locomotive usually gets the most attention when setting up a model railroad, but there are many choices for railcars as well. 4. Figures such as People and Animals Adding figures such as people will complete your model and make it more realistic. The addition of animals will add that extra little touch as well. 5. Landscaping You have unlimited choices for landscaping. Just use your imagination to add trees and grass or water. But if you'd like to be a little more creative you can add tunnels or hills and valleys for your train to roam through. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
