Awhile ago my wife gave me a $25 gift certificate to the LHS and I need some help figuring out how to spend it. I started out a couple years ago with a Lifelike HO toy train set. Since then I have added some track and switches, upgraded and added rolling stock (everything has Kadee couplers), and now have a halfway decent MRC power supply (but I really like the idea of dcc). I still have only the Lifelike original loco. My layout is not permanent, but once I get done refinishing the basement I will have a space to set up a 12x12 layout. The shop generally sells for about MSRP less 10%. In other words, I can do better at wholesaletrains, but have the gift certificate. Here are some thoughts that I have, but what would you suggest as a way to spend: - Athearn blue box loco for about $40, meaning I'd kick in an extra $15. - A few more switches - More track Help me out with some ideas here! Thanks, Tony
