Model Trains, Railroad Kits, Scenery & Model Railroading Supplies
Build a railroad in miniature with model trains, structures, scenery, track, figures, vehicles and layout supplies from MegaHobby. Our Model Railroading department brings together products for creating and expanding model railroad layouts in popular scales, whether you're starting with your first train set, adding another locomotive to an established roster or building an entire railroad scene from the ground up.
Model railroading combines many different parts of the hobby into one project. Locomotives and rolling stock provide the trains themselves, but track planning, structures, scenery, roads, figures, vehicles and landscape materials transform those trains into a miniature world. A layout can recreate a specific railroad, region and era or become a completely original railroad built around the subjects you enjoy most.
HO Scale Model Trains & Layouts
Explore HO Scale model railroading for trains, structures, scenery and accessories in one of the hobby's most widely used scales. HO offers enough size for visible detail while remaining practical for layouts ranging from compact switching scenes to larger railroad systems.
Browse HO Scale locomotives for the motive power at the heart of the railroad, then build out the train with HO Scale rolling stock. Freight cars, passenger equipment and other railroad cars give modelers the ability to create trains appropriate to different railroads, industries and operating eras.
HO Scale Buildings, Scenery & Layout Details
A model railroad becomes much more than track and trains once the surrounding environment begins to take shape. Browse HO Scale building kits for structures you can assemble and finish yourself, or explore HO Scale built and ready buildings for structures that can be added to a layout with less assembly.
Add people and activity with HO Scale figures and HO Scale vehicles. Then develop the landscape with HO Scale scenery and additional model railroad landscaping materials.
These elements can turn an empty section of benchwork into a town, industrial district, rural landscape, railroad yard or other scene that gives trains a convincing environment in which to operate.
HO Scale Track, Accessories & Train Sets
Track is the foundation of an operating railroad. Browse HO Scale track and accessories for products used to build and expand the railroad itself.
New model railroaders can also explore HO Scale train sets. Train sets can provide a convenient starting point for entering the hobby, while additional track, rolling stock, buildings and scenery allow that initial setup to grow into a more complete layout over time.
N Scale Model Railroading
For builders who want to fit more railroad into a given amount of space, explore N Scale model railroading. The smaller size of N Scale allows modelers to create longer trains, broader scenery and more expansive track arrangements within spaces where a larger scale might require a simpler plan.
N Scale can be equally at home in a compact layout or a large railroad where long mainline runs and expansive scenery are part of the goal. It is also a popular choice for modelers who want a strong sense of distance between towns, industries and railroad scenes.
O Scale Model Railroading
Browse O Scale model railroading for larger trains and railroad subjects with a substantial visual presence. The larger size makes locomotives, rolling stock and layout details especially prominent and gives collectors and operators another distinct approach to the hobby.
Bring additional life to larger-scale scenes with O Scale people and vehicles for streets, stations, businesses and other areas around the railroad.
Railroad Accessories for Multiple Scales
Not every model railroad product belongs to a single scale. Explore railroad accessories for all scales for products that support layout building, operation and maintenance across different parts of the hobby.
Our model railroad supplies, smoke and tools collection provides additional products for maintaining and working on railroad equipment and layouts.
Model Railroad Scenery & Landscaping
Scenery is one of the areas where a model railroad can become uniquely your own. Terrain, vegetation, ground cover and other landscape materials help establish geography, season and setting while visually connecting track, structures and roads into a unified scene.
Browse landscaping materials for products used to develop terrain and scenery throughout a layout. Modelers working on scenery and structures can also visit the broader Tools & Supplies department for cutting, sanding, adhesives, knives, drills and other workbench essentials.
Railroad Decals & Custom Details
Markings and lettering help establish the identity of locomotives, rolling stock, structures and other railroad subjects. Browse railroad decals for additional lettering and graphics that can be used in model railroad projects.
Decals are useful for recreating specific equipment, modifying an existing model or creating custom railroad subjects. Pair them with paints and finishing products from the MegaHobby Paint Store when repainting or customizing railroad equipment and structures.
Model Railroading Books & Reference Material
Planning a railroad often involves research into prototypes, scenery, structures and modeling techniques. Browse railroading books for additional reference material and inspiration, or explore our broader Books & Magazines department for hobby and historical reference titles.
Build More Than a Train Set
One of the attractions of model railroading is that the project never has to be truly finished. A starter railroad can grow with another locomotive or freight car. An empty corner can become an industry. A bare section of layout can develop into a forest, town or rail yard. Existing equipment can be detailed, weathered or repainted as interests change.
Whether you're assembling your first train set or developing an established layout, MegaHobby brings together model trains, buildings, scenery, figures, vehicles, track, railroad decals and hobby supplies to help build a miniature railroad one project at a time.
