Thanks for your reply, it was very helpful.I did not know the O gauge was AC powered, that is not something I want to risk so thanks for the warning.  I just picked up the G gauge set at a nice discount at, of all places, Linen and Things.  Just about every place I tried that would normally carry it was out of stock.The track on this set is made out of plastic, so no rusting worries there.  The wheels on the cars are plastic but I'm not sure about the engine.  The engine an cabose are under a plastic cover and I didn't want to open so it looks new when my daughter opens it on Christmas.This set is less "toyish" than past Christmas tree trains we've bought.  I don't know how the quality of the motor and such compare to "real" G gauge trains.  But I notice there is a lot more detail in the engine and all the cars than past "toy" sets we've gotten.  Regardless, I don't plan to leave the train out when it's not being used, only the track.I haven't gotten the rechargeable battery option yet, maybe I'll just get rechargeable D cells from Walmart and see how that works.  Or I wonder if a 12 v. gel cell like the one I have for our alarm backup power would work.  My concern is it might burn up the motor.
