BTW, if it makes a difference, I'm interested in modeling diesel engines, not so much steam engines. I live in the Midwest and would like to try my hand at either a BNSF line, a SF line from the SouthWest/Arizona area, or a Chicago NorthWestern scheme. I got two GP-38's last night (Atlas) from the shop. One is a SF and the other a BNSF. They were marked down from $120 to $65 so they were either priced wrong to begin with or they were 50% off :) At any rate, I like them. They run quite a bit better and quieter than my HO trains from 20 years ago did. These things also run at very low speeds too which is really really great. I'm using a Rail Power 250 Tech 4 which really does some neat stuff with momentum and braking. Eventually I'd like to get to a point where I can have running lights or ditch lights regardless of engine movement but I'm guessing that's where DCC comes into play and I'm not quite there yet.... I've taken a few pictures of my few pieces of track, on plywood, on a table, in the cold garage: http://www.boche.net/trains/pictures/ Thank you, Jas
