If you are new to the hobby, welcome! I've gotten over 35 years of enjoyment from model trains and I hope you do, to! When you are just getting started you are going to need some basic tools to perform general maintenance and to build simple kits. The above list will take care of most of your immediate needs.
There is some push back on this, but I think you should invest in the best tools you can buy for this list as it will be your mainstay in the toolbox. I've worn out tons of these items so you want to buy durable items.
Print this list and take it to your local hobby shop. Yeah, you might pay a little more, but at this stage in the game a little advice goes a long way. Give the owner your list and ask him to help you get what you need.
