This book has been written to introduce you to the next level of this evolution process: the building of a model train layout. It starts with the basic question of who the layout is being built for. Many fathers say the trains are for the kids, but, in reality, they are using the children as the reason for the model train project.
There is really nothing wrong with that but a better reason would be that Model Railroading is a hobby the entire family can get involved with. To build a complete train layout you need to start with carpentry to build the platform. Hopefully, before you start the table you have made a decision on how the tracks will be laid out. Once you get going, you will need to learn about tracks and wiring, building scenery, adding 'people' and other details which sets your layout apart from others.
Building a layout and operating trains can be very expensive if your plans call for an elaborate layout. The author of "Heritage Model Trains" provides you with numerous hints on where to save money. It is expensive to re-start a layout once you build a platform. Many of us have experienced this problem.
Likewise you should plan your locomotive and rolling stock purchases carefully. Modern style train cars may not run well on a small radius track layout. When wiring your track, are you going to use the old standard of DC or are you planning on using Digital Command Control (DCC). Sometimes switching from DC to DCC can be another expense that you can avoid by properly planning ahead.
