[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cudaken I started out with not knowing anything and a search on E-bay for HO trees for the slot car track. Found many cool things there that was missed listed with trees being the main word. One auction I picked up 25 trees 2 Athearn Blue Boxes Engines, 10 Athearn cars for $30.00 with shipping. [/quote] Wow. Score. retail and merchandise-wise, this seems kinda like a lost hobby...it took me 6 months just to find a decent hobbyshop. ths is my first layout, and i think i hesitate bcause i am starting this in a new scale, (N), and i already have a bunch of stuff in HO...dont get me wrong, i love HO, but i just simply dont have the space, and i like the idea of starting small anyway for a first layout. but i guess ill go out to the lhs, and start by buying track and roadbed. since i have a plan, i guess that would be the next step. ive also gotta put up the shelf. its all put together, i just gotta hang it. Nwe Question: now, eventually i want to start using DCC for control, but with a small point to point layout like i have, would it be worth it to go out and spend the money on a system or just use DC for now, till the time comes where i need a more exact control system. i plan to put alot of detail into scenery,since it is so small, like lights and lighted buildings and all kinds of goodies. would DCC make this any easier?
