how do you know what train signals mean?

Hoo-bloody-ray for "modeller_db" --- sense at last! Why DO these people come on and start waffling about things they obviously know very little about!
If your husband is already 'into' modelling he probably gets "The Railway Modeller" monthly magazine. That's packed with adverts you'll find mind blowing, and there's one firm in Liverpool whose name begins with an "H" (that way some idiot can't report me for advertising !) that stock practically EVERYTHING there is to have in "N" gauge, and for rather less than most other stockists ask, and they have a flat rate (£4) for postage.
Have a look in that OR (of course!) go to "Model Railways" in any search engine. Good luck !

N gauge is a fairly "new" model train type! So you won't likely find much really "rare antique" stuff, but some of the prices for engines are astronomical! part of the stuff is just plain expensive to begin with, -- some are relatively rare!

You can sort of track what is going on on Ebay, go to model trains, - "n" gauge!

You will find that digital is much higher priced, and much newer than a lot of other stuff!

Now if you want a rare model train consider the Marklin that my Uncle sent me home from Germany in 1946 (it cost maybe $75 then), - Now the engine alone (which I naturally destroyed as a 7 year old), -- is selling for at least $1,200, on up to several thousand (in prefect condition!) It is "00" gauge, which is same track width as HO!

N gauge is so small, --that somebvody is selling plans to make a "coffee table" railroad, - this woud be novel, -and let him display his modeling where it can be looked oat, but not nescessarily be "messed with!"

English train numbers any web site that gives you correct listing of numbers?

Difficult as every modeller has their own preferences, eras countries, individual railroad or railway operator.
I would sugest a quiet word with any modelling friends your Husband has, however you could easily be looking at £ 100. or more for a locomotive. I think most DCC (Digital) is still retro fitted by enthusiasts, possibly the us has some DCC ready locos but the Peco GWR 2251 class billed as the first British outline DCC equipped loco has been delayed yet again and is promised for the new year.
Quite honestly if it is N gauge and you buy it that in itself should make it special.

Oh dear, Sadie H. I see you are having the usual stupid answers. This is a UK & Ireland site, so am I correct in assuming you are either in the UK or Ireland? If so, I assume your husband is modelling a UK track. So why do these stupid Americans assume you are looking for an American locomotive and give you the addresses of lots of lovely American sites?
Then someone tells you it is relatively new. I suppose 40 years could be described as relatively new. And then, the best, make sure of the track size. You have already said it was N gauge.
I would have thought one of the famous locomotives would have made a good present. A 9f, preferably Evening Star, the last British Rail steam loco or a Mallard or Flying Scotsman. Something that in its own way is unique. Buy one of the Railway modelling magazines and have a look through the adverts. You'll see something that just catches your eye. Or leave for hubby to look at and see if he mentions one in particular. Good luck.
