Hello, I'm trying to figure out a cost on my first layout, and I was wondering what a good quality (Hopefully) low cost loco would be? I'm going to be modeling a passanger trains in a scenic mountain in a 2 X 4 space. I imagine I'll need a fairly short loco and passanger cars because of the possibility of tight curves (Which I'm still trying to figure out) At this point I'm not doing a specific era or anything like that it's just me trying to figure out if I'm any good at it and if I like it. I would like the loco to be DCC ready as if I find I just can't do it I think it'll sell better. But hopefully that won't be an issue and I can convert it over to DCC (Going with DC on this first layout with just a single train and because of money restrictions) The one thing I was thinking about doing is in the center of my layout where my mountain is build it hollow so I could "Park the train at night" With either a reversing section on the track, or a pull-0through tunnel with 2 switches (Might be getting ahead of my self though...) what do you all think?
