• Welcome to the hobby!  I've been involved for about 10 months and have been trying to learn all I can.
  
  The internet is a great source of information, and it's free.  This site should give you a good rundown on many manufacturers and a good cross-section of their models:

  Here are some additional sites I've found informative:

  There are also a wealth of information on YouTube.  Two of my favorites -- search for "St. Paul Steam" and for "Keith Appleton".
  
  Again, welcome to the hobby!
