Welcome to the Realistic Model Railroading forum!
Realistic Model Railroading is a gathering of railroad modelers in all scales who are intent on developing their skills while building and operating realistic model railroads. We strive for this forum to be a place where the defining line between "train sets" and miniature transportation systems is clearly drawn.
To that end, this forum's purpose is to inspire each other, to pass on helpful techniques and advice, and to reap the benefits of shared interests and goals in pursuing realism in model railroading, to the best of one's abilities and talents.
We also firmly subscribe to the idea that there is no "best" technique or "best" product for every situation or need. Rather, there are numerous ways to solve the various challenges we all encounter from time to time while building and operating realistic layouts. Part of the enjoyment of this hobby comes from learning to problem solve or sharing with the community how you found a solution to a particularly thorny problem.
Please take a few moments to read through our FAQs to learn more about our goals and objectives. If you agree with them, we hope you will join our community of railroad modelers.
