G gauge can be a lot of work but the rewards are fantastic. I run an Aristo Doodlebug (DCC) , a couple of box cars and a heavy weight standard 75 ft. R.P.O. The great thing about G is that it is a scratch builders "dream come true." DCC gives you the "feel" of prototype movement (inertia, momentum, acceleration, braking, etc.). A guy could start with a motor brick and perhaps build a diesel switcher around it as a first challenge. My first effort was a 68 ft. Interurban Car (Cincinnati Car Co.) which turned out pretty well. G gauge doesn't have to be "beyond the means" for most modelers. Patience and enthusiasm for a lot of outdoor work is the key. Happy rails to you.
