Train Sets: 5 Fast Facts
See The 10 Best Train Sets on Ezvid Wiki ►►
Fact #1. The first working locomotive driven train was invented in the year 1804. The first practical train wasn't in service until 1812. That being the case, model train sets have existed for less than two centuries. It only took two decades after the first use of railroads for craftsmen to begin creating model trains, though. The first electric train was released in 1897. Soon, ever more elaborate sets were sprawled out across living rooms all around America and the world.
Fact #2. German toymakers began producing simple train sets in the 1830s. The first models were made out of solid brass or tin. Wooden wheels were sometimes attached. Many of them had simple moving parts. A popular early version was the Birmingham dribbler. It had a functioning boiler and could roll forward under its own power.
Fact #3. Miniature train sets have an almost universal appeal. They can envelop a child in a whole afternoon of imaginative play. Or they can amuse an adult modeling and engineering enthusiast for hours on end. One of the more common uses for an adult train set is as a decoration that circles the Christmas tree. If you want a train to serve this purpose, measure the approximate circumference of your tree stand and tree skirt. Afterwards, compare that size to the perimeter of the track that you can create.
Fact #4. The best accessory for a train set is additional sections of track. After that, you'll need to create your rail yard and lay out the rails. A good option is a single sheet of plywood supported on solid sawhorses. Railroad crossing signs and signals are also available.
Fact #5. When buying a children's train set, make sure you know whether or not they will play with it. Then take their age, coordination, and temperament into consideration. Some come complete with their own table. These can be easily enjoyed on any surface. Others may be frustrating to use on carpets or uneven floors. For toddlers, find a set with tracks that click together and stay in place. For older children, almost any train set will do just fine.
