This may be long-winded, so... <br /> <br />Do not start with N scale. It's nearly microscopic...hehe. Seriously, it is small. I recommend HO to start with. <br /> <br />Start with Athearn. Walthers is good, but Athearn is tough. I <i>would</i> have suggested Atlas, but they haven't produced a starter set in years. <br /> <br />If it has the option of EZ Track or Atlas track, go with the EZ Track. <br /> <br />As for figuring out how to connect(powerpack to track, etc.)everything, ask your local hobby shop to help you. Hopefully you have a good local hobby shop. <br /> <br />Shop your local hobby shop first, just to get an idea of what's what. <br /> <br />If you can get your local hobby shop to help with the connections, try finding a better price on eBay. You'll have the knowledge of how to hook up everything without the price of the local hobby shop. <br /> <br />Good luck, and welcome to the forums! <br />
