[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by EricO</i> <br /><br />Thanks for the info. I was going to just start with a set. As far as track and a starting controller does anyone have any suggestions on what to go with? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />The packaged train sets are a convenient way to get started but it should be noted that the quality of the parts in those sets is pretty low. The locomotives, rolling stock (cars), track and power pack (controller) all suffer that fate unfortunately. <br /> <br />If you think you might stick with the hobby, you would be better served to research how you want your layout to look and buy better quality items individually. Yes, you'll pay more, but the quality and reliability will be worth it in the long run. <br /> <br />That's my $.02 worth! <br /> <br />Doug
