[quote user="galaxy"] Thanks for the reply. I never thought of DCC capable to adjust speeds. I am stuck in DC. I have read a lot about DCC, and frankly it doesnt seem to be all its cracked up to be.......yet.  It has potential....and from the ones I have heard with sound...novel idea, but not impressed.I figured your 1800s stuff was aquired earlier. Someday again it may be available, or I may just have to build some things.Buildings I may have little trouble trying to build scratch, IF I know what was appropriate then. The rolling stock is what I have trouble with. THere seems to be engines available of that time, but cars less. OH, well.And my layout room is:  0x0 feet. Available space for layout: 0x0. that is why I said what space you have available is like Texas to me. Whatever I do must be small enough and light enough and easy enough to say...stand on end in a closet when its not up taking space set up/out!???[:O]The 31''x46'' table under the x-tree was great !!!! LOL--its is still up!...(not the tree though!!)Thanks and keep workin hard[swg]-G[/quote]It sounds like you should be working in N scale; you can fit a lot on a single hollow core door (which is easy to stand up out of the way).  Just make sure that everything is glued down or removable.I actually model 1900-1910; but stretch things a little to use what is available.  Some of my rolling stock is scratch built and about half of my buildings are scratch built.  I grab figures and horse drawn wagons when I find them; most everything else can be modified or adapted to work.  I tore down a large layout about 15 years ago, saved the buildings, turnouts, and misc stuff.  I am rebuilding now with that stuff, new track, some new turnouts, and several new engines.  DCC is well worth the switch and I will not buy any engine that either does not have sound or that can not have sound added.  Even poor sound is way better than no sound.
