Model railroad manufacturers.

This list is based only on my own experience, so many manufacturers are missing from the list. Also I have not included manufacturers that produce very expensive equipment.

Categories:

1. Highly detailed, good runners, (quite) expensive. For the serious modeller.
2. Moderate detail, mostly good runners. Best value for the money. For teenagers and up.
3. Few details and/or poor runners. Good for kids that plays with trains and run full speed anyway.
