Its been 20 years since ive pulled my trains outta the closet. I have a 6 yr old daughter who is developing an interest in the trains so i would like to start a layout. I was just trying to decipher some of the terms that are used these days. ie, DCC, helix, frog,etc..
Also was wondering if I have to use a separate power supply for each individual locomotive I would like to run.

"Also was wondering if I have to use a separate power supply for each individual locomotive I would like to run."
Nope. Unless you're running a lot of locomotives on the same track at the same time you shouldn't need more than one.
