hdavis- That works out to around 2-3%, not to bad!! If you stretch that out over a considerable length it won't even be a factor. The issue of scale is one which is hotly debated and discussed on these forum pages from time to time. Given the limited availability of pieces the scales issue in my opinion is better suited for the auxillary aspects of the layout i.e., buildings, autocars, decor. To try and have all your trains in scale is almost impossible. There will be some rolling stock or loco you want, but in the wrong scale, it will drive you crazy. I am of the thought that 1/24 is the most logical because it falls in the middle of the available scales and seems to have the most available commercial items. Control the scale where you can and do the best with everything else. It will look just fine. As far as power goes, if you plan on running more than one loco at a time you want to think about getting somekind of remote control radio system. This works thru track power and will get the job done. Batteries can give you the same independant loco control with no track conductivity issues. These systems are both costly so its whatever way you want to spend it I guess. If you are looking to just run one train then it is much simpler. Track power with a single transformer. Have a great time with it!! Pete
