Start a Family Model Railroad tradition with a high quality HO set
Trainline train sets are an ideal start toward a long-lasting hobby.
They run great the first time out of the box and they keep running for years to come. The new Trainline® Wayfreight Diesel Freight Set combines PROTO quality and Trainline reliability into one great set. Each includes a smooth-running PROTO 1000 EMD F3 diesel with a detailed body, dual flywheels and a DCC socket for easy conversion when you're ready (decoder sold separately). The loco pulls a flat car w/grader load, 4-bay hopper, log car w/removable log load, 50' plug-door box car and matching bay window caboose. Cars come equipped with metal wheels and body-mounted magnetic knuckle couplers for reliability. Also included are a solid state MRC power pack, three Life-Like™ SceneMaster™ vehicles and complete instructions. Sets are available with a 36 x 54" oval of either Bachmann E-Z Track® or Atlas Snap Track for compatibility with thousands of HO products and easy expandability.

Getting Started
A GUIDE TO FINDING SCALE AND SIZE
Z scale: Trains built to a ratio of 1:220. A 75’ locomotive is 4 in. long. The rails of the track are 6.5 mm apart.
N scale works well for modelers who don't have a lot of space at their disposal (apartment dwellers, for example) or who prefer to run their trains through truly expansive scenery.
N scale: Trains built to a ratio of 1:160. A 75’ locomotive is 5 1/2 in. long. The rails of the track are spaced 9 mm apart. N scale works if you don’t have lots of space, in an apartment or if you enjoy lots of scenery.
HO scale railroading is about 90% of our store. HO scale: Trains built to a ratio of 1:87. Half the size of O scale. A 75’ locomotive is 10 1/2 in. long. The rails of the track are 16.5 mm apart.
S scale: Trains built to a ratio of 1:64. A 75’ locomotive is 14 in. long. The rails of S gauge track are 7/8 inches apart.
O and O-27 gauge circles of track have diameters of 31 and 27 inches produced by Lionel in the 1940s and '50s. Many grew up, enjoying these trains .
O scale: Trains built to a ratio of 1:48. A 75’ locomotive is 18 3/4 in.long. The rails of O gauge track are 1 1/4 in. apart.
G scale: These trains are built to a ratio of 1:22.5. A 75’ locomotive is 40 in. long. G and other large scale trains run on gauge 1 track with rails 45 mm apart.
