A typical kit will come with all the model railroading supplies a beginner needs: a track, an engine, a few cars, electrical supplies, and perhaps some accessories. These kits can help give a new hobbyist the initial feel of how to put together a model railroad.
Once the initial kit has been created, any beginner will be able to add landscapes, terrain, decals, and graphics to the kit to make it more like a specific region, time period, or rail line. Find a few of these train sets here.
The more advanced model railroading supplies include things like electronic accessories that allow a train to power all through the model landscape. This is a more confusing supply to use when creating model railroads because there must be an understanding of electronics, wiring, and how it all works together.
Other more advanced supplies include train paint and decals, especially if a model train is being made to look like one from a specific railroad and/or time period.
