OK. <br /> <br />For DCC Systems. North Coast Engineering, Lenze, and Digitrax are all highly reccomended. I have the Digitrax system myself and find it highly relaiable and very flexable. And user Freindly. <br /> <br />Good Locomotives You can't go wrong with the following. <br /> <br />Proto 2000/1000 <br />Atlas <br />Stewart Hobbies (A Division of Bowser) <br />Bachmann Spectrum <br />Athearn <br />Walthers <br />recent production Rivorossi <br />and while I have no personal expereince I hear IHC comes highly reccomended. <br /> <br />For your Code 83 Track. While there are many suppliers of Flex Track. Atlas Turnouts are the easyest to install. Other brands have to have special complicated wiring That just make getting a reliable track arrangement that much more of a pain in the rear. <br /> <br />Most of the building kits that are out there are pretty good. And Woodland Scenics has you covered for scenery. <br /> <br />Might I reccomend you purchase the book HO Railroad From Set to Scenery and that will walk you through all the steps of building a model railroad on an 8' X8' layout. <br /> <br />
