			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to build your model train collection then you need to start by building more model train track. This is the first step, as your trains need something to run on. It is best to start small and then build up from there. You can find all the train track that you need in the model stores, online or in discount shops.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You should also think about joining model train clubs in order to learn form other members and enthusiasts. Often you can buy trains, track and other accessories from them for a good price. The price that you want to pay is the first consideration, as well as the space that you have available to build in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you have limited money then you need to look for discounted prices. As such, you can find old collectors that may be unable to continue, have passed away or want to sell their collections. You can often find these people in newspaper adverts, on auction sites, or advertised in model train clubs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you are able to find these old collections then you can get a great again. Otherwise, you can choose to buy all your trains and track brand new. This is a nice way to build your collection but it is going to cost you a lot of money.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The next thing you need to think about is the space that you have to build in. If you have a large space or room in your house then you are set. Also if you have a garden that you can use, then you may want to opt for the garden railroad scale trains. This is a luxury that most hobbyists simply don’t have.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In order for most people to keep building their model train tracks, then need to think of new innovative ways to expand. This can be done but it requires a certain level of skill and planning. You need to know the basics of track building and also have the skill to execute your plans.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You can think about adding more ovals, curves and bends into your track. You can also have two-tier track layouts in order to maximise your space. Another idea is to use straight track to replicate a train station. This is often the most difficult type of model train track to setup, as it requires skill to allow the trains to change direction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still, with practice and planning you can certainly achieve these results and ensure that your train collection keeps growing. You can also have great fun within a small area. If you have very limited space then you should think about using the smaller scales of trains and track. Use the N scale.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The N scale is very popular because of the details that are given to every locomotive. The result is very life-like and realistic. The trains also look great when they are running around the track.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As you can see, there are many options for expanding your model track within the space you have. You just need to be creative and use some imagination and skill.</p>
