The most fun that an electric train set provides is in setting up the track including its stations and shops and lights and watching the train roll around the track. Each electric train set comes with a locomotive, a variety of train cars and a caboose. Some train sets come equipped with a village that includes a train set, benches and electric lights.

There are different styles of train set from very old steam trains through to a model version of the latest japanese bullet train. There are still model clubs in many towns where you can go and talk to other model train enthusiasts. Part of the fun of using a electric train set is to show other people.
