Hi, New Here
Hi. I'm new here and to trains, My grandson is enthralled with trains. Thomas is tops but ALL trains, real or cartoon so I thought I'd help him develope a real love for the hobby. He is 3 now. I like the idea of an outdoor train as my home is very tiny lol
I found a train set for sale, it's an H scale.. ( what ever that means) .. what questions should I ask? Here is a copy of the ad I found;
Better than Thomas! LOOK! - $125
Super neat train set! G scale is the large train intended for the garden. We always use it for the christmas tree and regular "train time". This is no cheapie, chinese, battery powered junk. It is made by Aristo Craft and is heavy duty. It comes with a steam locomotive, tender, box car and caboose. Features are: Smoke(gotta buy the liquid smoke from any hobby shop)working headlight and light on the tender, lighted fire box on the locomotive and a choo-choo sound. There is enough track for a large oval or circle. It also has a contoller that will work the train in forward and reverse. It is a RC Cola Taste Express train and the tender and boxcar are blue and silver the locomotive are black and red. The Locomotive is missing a plastic bell and the origional box is beat but it is otherwise in excellent condition. This train is the one we looked at in the toy store window as kids. Your kids will love it as mine have, way better than Thomas, Brio or Geotracks. The price is great considering a single locomotive in this scale will run about $250.00. It does take some adult supervision but is time well spent with your kids. Willing to travel some.Pics on request!
