Welcome and good luck/It is very true that many of the things you will find in a 20 yr.old guide will still be usefull today.However if you are going to be expanding and might want to go the dcc route now is a perfect time to do so.I recommend looking at all the web sites lenz,digitrax,nce bachmann ,atlas roco,cvpproducts,and get as much info as you can.DCC offers you a way to control your trains not the track,it is however a little higher in price.dcc equipped engines are more costly than non dcc in general.It all depends on what level you want to run your trains,if you just want to watch trains run around a loop and back,or if you want to operate as realistic as possible.look around and ask questions lhs owner /customers at the lhs, most everyone in this hobby will take a little time to try and help you.From my viewpoint,dcc is the only way to go,but that is just my viewpoint.Again Good luck and Welcome,as you expand your layout and the need arises to ask questions you will be amazed at the people here in this forum there collective knowledge is overwhelming.
