Thanks Guys for the answers - and the thoughts - I'm hitting the LHS on Thursday to see what's there. <br /> <br />Just to clear one thing up - I'm not as much thinking about precision scale modeling with this as I am the nostalgia factor - combining hobbies just doesn't appear all that practical, especially considering that the scales just don't match, except for "O" which seems to big for me... <br /> <br />I think I'm going to enjoy the layout aspect as much as anything, which is why N appeals as I feel like (and this may be mistaken) that I can do more with a layout without having to have a huge space. <br /> <br />At first I really will be into the basic stuff, probably laying down some track and running off the shelf products, but I'm sure it won't be long before the super-detailing bug bites, or I find that car that I can't find anywhere else - and need to scratchbuild. <br /> <br />Did a little googling last night and found as Jim mentioned above that C&O and GT are the two main lines that I would have seen as a kid - again not trying to box myself in there, but it's a starting point as that's what will really satisfy the nostalgia kick. <br /> <br />I think what's most fun is that it's still all very new, so there's a lot to learn, which I like... <br /> <br />Thanks for humoring my basic questions, I may have more as I continue to do the initial bits of research and learning about what direction I want to go... <br /> <br />Best Regards, <br /> <br />Paul
