I too, am just reentering the hobby after an absence of many years. I purchased a Grand Valley "layout in a box" as that seemed to be an excellent way to get restarted and be assured of a complete layout within a reasonable time. The three boxes I purchased (one being the track pack from Atlas) seem to be very complete. At the present time I am starting to lay track, having just completed the installation of all of the styrofoam subbase. Styrofoam is much easier and much less messy to work with than the more conventional methods of construction. When anchored with low temperature glue it provides an extremely stable surface. One thing I might recommend if you were to follow with one of the "layouts in a box"...do not purchase the Atlas package. Buy the necessary turnouts and crossovers and connect them with flextrack. There are entirely too many small pieces of snaptrack in the box that I purchased. <br /> <br />I too, have noticed that some of the Woodland Scenics items are pricey. I do feel they provide real quality and their customer service is extremely responsive. My local hobby shop offered the three boxes at a 30% discount if all three were purchased at the same time <br /> <br />
