Jeff, <br />Someone once said the longest journey starts with the first step (or something like that). Your doing the right thing by reading and scanning the net but it is best if you pick a scale, era and theme (mainline/branchline/logging etc.) and purchase or make things that suit. Buy a couple of easy to build car kits (Athearn, Walthers, etc) and building kits (Atlas, Walthers, etc.) and then look out for easy to scratch build articles in magazines and start there. If you jump into a huge or complex project to early you could become overwelmed. Most model railroad magazines have articles suitable for beginners with drawings, step by step instructions and tips. <br /> <br />Have Fun, <br />Darren
