Most train-set enthusiasts consider an accessory to be any structure, non-railroad vehicle, or other object that makes the set seem more lifelike. Examples include houses, automobiles, signs, signals, and trees. Building manuals are available to construct everything from mountains, rivers, and lakes to billboards, playgrounds, and theme parks. Building from scratch can seem difficult, but in the end, creating your own structures and landscapes will result in a truly unique layout. Paint, glue, knives, and airbrushes are some of the tools you may need if you're working without a kit.
But prefab building kits are available, allowing you to add churches, train stations, factories, popular fast-food restaurants, and drive-in theaters (some kits for drive-in theaters even come with an LCD screen and DVD player). Working signals and crossing gates can also add to the realism of your set. Some electric wiring may be required, but the proper kit can guide you, and once you're finished, your toy train set will be more lifelike than ever.
