<P>Hi,<BR></P> <P>My soon to be born son already has a ceiling layout in place. I ended up picking up a cheapie diesel engine (for testing) and a starter set 1 amp controller (both purchased for under $100.00). So, the layout works, tested, etc.</P> <P>I am almost positive I want to go the steam engine route (it looks more interesting), the room color is a very light yellow, so a dark engine should stand out nicely (IE easy to see). </P> <P>I cant figure if I should buy a cheapie NYC starter set & then upgrade when my son is older, or if I should get a Mike & either add some freight trains or passenger cars.</P> <P>I think the passenger cars would be nice as they would light up, but I bet I could find some freight cars that light up too. </P> <P>I think the NYC set has sound & smoke but the engine size seems a bit smaller than the Mike engine size. Then theres the Diesel Gen III with cars as well.</P> <P> </P> <P>Any suggestions would be welcome!</P> <P> </P> <P>Thanks,</P> <P>Rich</P> <P> </P>
