Five Star Gift Ideas

If you are looking for a Christmas gift for your husband who enjoys model railroading, here are a few ideas that might be of interest to him:

1. Model Train Set: You can buy him a model train set that he can use to build his own model railroad. There are different scales of model trains available, but the HO scale is the most common and widely used. You can find starter sets or advanced sets that include locomotives, cars, tracks, and accessories. Make sure you know what kind of setup he has - it's never fun buying an incompatible train set!

2. Railroad Book: If your husband enjoys reading, he might enjoy a coffee table book with a variety of different train pictures and model railroad layouts. These books can be found at bookstores or online, often covering different themes from history to modern-day railroads, construction and engineering.

3. Magazine Subscriptions: There are a number of magazines that are dedicated to model railroading, including Model Railroader, Railfan & Railroad, and Classic Toy Trains. A subscription to one of these magazines could provide your husband with hours of entertainment and information.

4. Train DVDs: There are some great train movies out there, whether it’s for entertainment or sharing inspiration. You can find movies about historical trains, modern day railways or even DIY builds.

5. Model Railroad Accessories: Model Railroading is the hobby of detail, so there are a lot of accessories to customize and expand layouts. These can range from people, to signs, to miniature trees, to even streetlights! By getting him a range of railroad accessories, you can help him build an ever more realistic layout.

With these ideas, you can help your husband embrace his love for model railroading and have a memorable Christmas.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
