The controllers Hornby supply wouldn't work over there - they're wired for a 230v mains input (the USA has 110v mains). However, they'll run with standard power packs and DCC (they're delivered wired for 2-rail 12v DC running, DCC fitting is either a socket or some simple soldering) so you'd be able to get them working. I'm not sure about stockists in the US though there are a few over here who will ship trans-Atlantic. Bachmann have been making big inroads into the OO diesel market in recent years too - their model of the EMD Class 66 has been a great success to name but one. If you're looking for information you could try using www.google.co.uk and checking the box to "Search pages from the UK" - then type what you're interested in. Prototype photos are widespread and will give you an idea of what runs together. Hope this is of help!
