If I read this right, he's wanting to know an easy way to do roads, reguardless of Scale. So if that's the case, try Woodland Scenics instant road system http://www.woodlandscenics.com/ . <br /> <br />They also have various learning kits as well, sicne you are very very new to the hobby, i'd sugest buying one of their Learning kits (probably the <i>Road System Kit</i> and the <i>Scenery Kit</i>), they will dramatically help you learn the basics of Terrain features. <br /> <br />As for road vehicles, go to www.walthers.com and do an advanced search and look at what they have for them. then once you've found a few dozen or so you like, take that information to your Local Hobby Shop (LHS) and see if they can get them for you cheaper than what's listed. <br /> <br />As for moving the cars. buses, trucks, that is a very very expensive undertaking and ultimatly turns out to look like crap (IMHO), after you get the cars moving, then you wish you could get the people to move, well by this time it's time to move up to 1:2 or 1:1 scale, since their the only scales that really allow for moving vehicles and people reaslitically. <br /> <br />Jay
