Choosing the Type of Model Railroad Construction to Fit Your Needs

Deciding which level of model railroad construction to choose from requires some decisions as to one's needs. The design, scale, size, and characteristics of a layout can be very different according to what aspects the modeler requires for a particular railroad. From detailed scenery with buildings, and realistic trackside scenes involving vehicles and figures to basic benchwork construction, the development of a model railroad is truly tailored to a client’s skill set.

Model Railroading is certainly a hobby for everyone at any age and at any skill level. We like to view our services much like how an artist creates their next masterpiece. You (the artist) are provided with the canvas (chosen below). Together, we begin coupling your dreams together in creating the railroad of your dreams.

To help identify your level of need in designing a new Model Railroad Construction project, AER Group has this questionnaire to utilize as a starting block in making your model railroad dream come true. Getting Started Questionnaire
