One question I constantly get asked is which model train set should someone get started with. This question doesn't have a definitive answer because it comes down to a matter of preference with the hobbyist.
Having said that. There are some sets which I believe are a better value with a few additions. I hope this can give people on the look for their first train set a better idea of what to look and lookout for.
