Tony: Three years ago I thought of going G scale as I retired (I don't golf or bowl...), and wanted to use battery powered rolling stock with RC. No one would talk to me; 3 out of 4 local dealers went broke and disappeared. All 4 blew me off. I all but gave up. Yesterday I ran into this forum and hope is restored!! I had laid some 200 ft of roadbed of crushed rock and coarse sand which is still there in spite of heavy rains -- needs some buildup now that I see ways to get/build RC and battery equipment -- but I would also like to consider plastic track to conserve costs on retirement income, perhaps to be able to afford better equipment when I'm ready for it. Do you have some views on that? I am a bit wary of solar degradation, though. While building roadbed and laying track over the next few weeks/months, I'll be reading up on ESCs, RC, interfaces, etc. etc. so's to be able to ask intelligent questions. In my mind's eye, I'd like to start out with a Bachmann oldie with 5-6 oldie-type cars, then add on one of the freight diesels we see here in South Florida every day on the Florida East Coast (FEC). Thanks for your help. Jack
