Hello All! <br /> <br />I have been a HO scale train buff who specializes in weathering and custom grafitti style airbrushing. Well I never actually laid out a track becuase I just love to paint trains as gifts for friends and family. <br /> <br />So I am really quite new to laying out track and all but I have been researching the idea of Gscale backyard railroading. I have bought a book and have begun to pull weeds in my 62'X15' backyard. I think I will do a reverse loop with Aristo-craft brass track. But I really don't know what kind of LOCO to start with. However I am going to the Long Beach big Train Show and look forward to seeing what is possible. <br /> <br />My question is should I look forward to making a big purchase on track, power supply, loco and rolling stock when I go to the train show. Or will I find good deals online year round and patiently do my research and finish pulling the weeds and prepping back yard first? Any advice would be great. <br /> <br />I really appreciate any input because I could get excited really fast down in Long Beach. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br />Rick Q.
