My kids (7&4) just received an HO train set from my brother in law. Everything on the set is 70's vintage and, from what I have been able to find out so far, not the highest quality. I already have been told by my local hobby shop that the track all needs to be replaced to eliminate the corrosion that has accumulated. So what I am trying to find out is, 1. What is the best way to get a simple layout with a couple of turns down and going so that the boys have something to run for now. 2. What is the difference between the type of turnouts (i.e. Atlas custom-line and snap-switch turnouts). I have decided to go with the code 100 track even though it is not as realistic. Unless there is a good reason that the code 83 is better then the code 100. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Dave
