[#welcome] Sounds like a good plan, but if you could make the layout any bigger it would be better. You can pull off 2 lines on a 4X8 but the turns will be pretty tight. Some might say DCC on a 4X8 layout is overkill, but if youre willing to spend the money than go for it. It simplifies wiring and if you end up buying locomotives with sound and such you can access a range more features than on DC. EZ track is easier to install and you can get trains running probably within a day. But, flex track, although it takes more effort, will in the long run provide you with years of better operation as well as looking more realisitc. As for the scenery, you make it yourself, its extremely easy and lots of fun too. If youre interested in scenery methods you should start a topic on it. www.discounttrainsonline.com is where i buy most of my modeling supplies that i cant get at the hobby shop. they have over 60,000 items so you should find what you need. <br /> <br />happy railroading
