So the other day while in the LHS I saw some train stuff and it got me to thinking <br />what is the appeal oft Model Railroads? so I started researching on the net and <br />magazines and that was it ..I had to get a set...so I ordered one of the cheapo <br />Bachmann HO Sets with a Diesel Rig (EMD FT Diesel) to start off slow until I decide how far I want to get into it. I realize I will replace every part of it in time but I don't care if I get way into the hobby I can give it to my nephew If I don't <br />I spend 45 bucks My questions are: <br /> <br />1.The track I am getting is the EZ Track and before I start building a small <br />layout I just wanted to know if this is decent track to start off with or if I should get something else, I don't want to invest in a bunch of track and then find out it's a waste of money. <br /> <br />2. What other trains( ie time era) could I use with my set (Santa Fe Superchief) <br /> and be correct. I have read a little and know how some stuff is in use for years <br />beyond it's prime. <br /> <br />3. I live in San Diego are there any good resources for Trains / Model trains <br />here. I know there is a model railroad museum which I plan on going but don't <br />know if there are any newbie friendly places to see layouts and ask questions. <br /> <br />Thanks <br />Bubba
