I'd say to buy a small number of very good locos - BLI/Atlas/Kato/Proto 2k rather than a lot of cheaper ones. Spend the cash on the track/scenery/etc instead, at least to begin with. Those long passenger trains look great, but there's not much point buying one until you have a decent length mainline laid to run it on. The same goes for lengthy strings of freight cars - nice, but not much use until you have the mainline down. As far as power is concerned, this would be the perfect time to adopt DCC if you haven't already done so, it will make your wiring far less complex as you'll only need a "power bus" under the boards rather than isolating sections, etc. Hope this helps!
