I found some of those power packs on eBay for around $70 and a DDC loco that normally sells for around $55 for only like $20. It was CSX which is what I want to use. YAY for me! :D
Wow, the first step is exactly what we planned, and saturday morning. We were going to do all the landscaping before we laid down the track. I was wondering where you get the extruded foam, there's a video series on youtube all about it. Also now that I've been seeing the price of DCC and the locos for it, we might have to go with just 2 DC power packs.
Actually, we've been planning on doing this for a about a year, but now were actually getting into it... I've done a little research, but not much and I'm going to read SpaceMouse's guide as soon as I'm doing writing this. We're doing a 4x6 HO scale layout in area probably about 7½-8 x 9-10. Edit- One more thing I forgot to say, I think were going to be doing a more modern theme with only desiel loco's.
Ok, I guess we are going to go with DCC. Also I found some stuff for the land here's a link... HERE Im wondering if it's any good.
Ok, thanks for the info, I think I'm going to use code 83. $$$ really isn't an issue sicne its a family layout
Oh, so which is better to use?
My family and I are going to be begin making our first layout this weekend, and we were wondering what you use for the ground. They say painting the wood but I think that will look ugly. Another question is what do you use for track bed, I want to use like really small gravel to make look real, will that work or not? Last question(atlest for now ) Since we plan on running to loco's at once do you need a controller made for 2 trains or just 1.
What's the difference between code 83 and code 100 HO track
