Thanks for the great information and the warm welcome! I am working in N Scale simply because I can do more with less room. I am trying to limit my size to no more than 4x8. I found a layout that has several mountain tunnels that my wife finds "neat" looking and I think I can get her involved to help with the scenery stuff if I go that direction. This is my third layout total (first N Scale). My other two were HO, but when my ex-wife and I split up I didn't get any of the track (I did get the loco's though..you know even split). This will also be my first cookie cutter one. It looks rather complicated to me, but I figure a step at a time and I should be able to get there. I have ordered several books and videos from the library and hobby stores that I have seen online that I think look interesting. I have been doing my homework on track and switches. I love the tortise look but I was thinking of sticking with Atlas switches for now. I know they don't look quite as good, but the Peco ones look like they will be hard to incorporate into the rest of the Atlas track. (Unless I have been misinformed or misunderstood). I will also be going DC not DCC for now simply because of costs. Heck I figure just to get up and running I am looking at about 500-1000 bucks. Anyway, Thanks again and I will keep reading and as spacemouse says... dumb, but getting smarter. And I have a long way to go to get as smart as him! And Ken WOW that is some layout! some day maybe.... hmmm...
