Mark, Thank you for your version of the guage explanation,I understood every bit of it and am now clear on the subject. As for the starter set,we are on the same wavelength in terms of thinking. I'm the kind of guy that typicaly buys the best and takes time to do it right rather than running out and getting stuff just so I can run trains. I have a particular picture in my head and will stop at nothing to achive the perfect something I am envisioning. So I have made the decision to go with aristo-craft diesel engines(SD-45) maybe 3 or 4 and aristo-craft track most likely 300 feet of it with 12 to 15 foot curves ,pulling20 or so burlington northern hoppers and boxcars. And will buy a quality transformer for track power along with wireless controllers.The diesels will all have the digital sounds installed by Phoenix. diesels are large and loud and mine will be also. My layout will be large and have few buildings,mostly forests and large meadows with cows horses and such and maybe i'll copy marty's bridge. His layout is very close to what I have in my head. It must be really cool to look outside your window and see your layout coverd in snow including your weatherd and a bit rusty diesels. I live in florida so I guess i'll never experience that,I guess its a tradeoff being able to run trains all year long. I want to thank each and every person who responded to this thread with your helpful information.
