I'm almost sixty years young and I've got the "railroad fever". I have found a Bachmann 2-10-0 that represents one of our native local railroads (Atlantic Coast Line) and I'm wondering if Bachmann will serve my desires in railroading. What are the pros and cons on these machines and what things should I look out for? What kind of power supply? Are the couplers interchangeable with other makes? Mercy, I can think of a thousand questions. Even though I had a train set when I was very young but when looking at the big picture I am considering myself to be completely ignorant when it comes to railroading. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for honest opinions. By the way, I'm not a wealthy person, so budget is extremely important. Actually, cheap but functional would be more appropriate. Thanks.......
