Bachmann model trains represent one of the largest manufacturers of model trains in the world. They are particularly associated with entry-level trains and with trains of the H030 scale; O scale trains that run on HO tracks. This company presently manufactures trains in all of the various scales and has recently become more associated with high-end models and kits. They are also well-known as the manufacturers of the models used for scenery alongside hobby railroads and particularly for their Plasticville USA line of models. This company is based in China and has been in business, in one incarnation or another, since the 1800’s.
Bachmann model trains are available in the popular O and HO scales. These models represent, respectively, the most common entry-level scale and the most popular scale for more advanced enthusiasts. O scale trains are large enough that they aren’t difficult to handle for children and are heavy enough that they can handle tight turns on runs of track, making it easy for younger hobbyists to learn about track placement and layout without becoming frustrated with unworkable runs too early on in their career as hobby railroad enthusiasts. The smaller HO scale is a nice compromise between challenge and ease.
The HO scale is the most popular scale of model train and Bachmann Model Trains manufactures several different lines in this scale. They also manufacture lines that encompass O scale trains which run on HO scale tracks. This is a great way for families with both an accomplished and a beginner hobbyist to save money by using the same runs of track for two separate trains. The HO trains come in a variety of designs and, over the years, the company has made more realistic and detailed models a part of its offerings.
The N scale train represents one of the high-arts of model railroading. Bachmann Model Trains manufactures engines and cars in this scale which can provide a level of challenge that will be gratifying for those who have surpassed that presented by the HO scale. These trains can be difficult to assemble and the track runs require a bit of engineering to set up correctly. Of course, model train enthusiasts are great lovers of such challenges and, for those who want a truly striking model train to add to their collection, the various N scale models offered by Bachmann Model trains may fit that bill.
