Hi...I'm back. I really appreciated everyone's comments earlier, so thought I'd ask more! After reading some, and going to my local shop, I bought some track just to get started back into it...and having a blast. I'm probably going to run HO and N together by the end of it...HO right now, and later use some N...don't ask me why...just want to. Hope that doesn't offend anyone! But I have a couple questions... -I'm sticking with HO for now...my old Tyco transformer stinks...it's not smooth at all. Should I get a new one? What brand? Not planning on DCC for now, if that affects my decision...maybe later, but not now. (Too limited on funds) -Can I do anything to the old transformer to make it better, so I can spend money in other area's? -Is there anything like automatic de-couplers? Don't know if that's the right term, but I'd like to uncouple trains at a certain point on the layout, and would like to do it remotely? -Is Bachmann stuff ok? Looks fairly good pricewise, and I don't have TONS to spend...I'm not going for spending a fortune on this stuff, just looking to have some fun. I'm concentrating on certains area's for my fun...I'm not as concerned about accurately modeling a certain period, place, etc. I'm not really concerned about tons of different rolling stock. I want to do switching, and have lots of activities for my son and myself to do on the RR. Does anyone make crane's, etc. that can be controlled from a distance? Any help is again much appreciated! Already having lots of fun with it...looking for the best ways to spend my limited funds and improve the fun level! Thanks, jdhermit
