<p><span class="smiley">[#welcome]</span></p><p><font size="4">The best comapany to go with is up to you really. Is like me tryn to sell you a Ford when you want a Chevy.<br />There are lots of parts that you can put on like cuplers all the way to kitbashing a train or the full train and cars kitbashed.<br />Support I have found good for both.<br />You will need a GFI plug/s, make sure you place more than one there never know when you need a extra for like parties.<br />Battery controlled power is just that, no live rails, some use the new 18v battery from a drill driver. Note: Not as much rail cleaning with battery power, but you will have to clear leaves, stones from frogs and turn outs, branchs, etc.<br />On the other hand you can have rail power which most like even thou we have to clean the tracks with a LGB Track Cleaning Car or Aristo-craft makes a Coobase to clean them or last but not leased a sheet rock sander with fine grit paper. Now I was just speaking of Brass track only there. They make all kinds of track, brass, SS, Alu, etc.<br />My code on my rails are 250 but they make a code 332 which others say looks better. Really up to you.<br />As for turn outs I use LGB and track is Aristo-Craft and all brass with Split Jaw clamps on them. Bachman track does not hold up well with weather at all. Use it for Christmas tree or sell on Epay.<br />As for scale trains and cars:<br />Fn3 scale 1:20.3 <br />G scale 1:22.5 <br />½" scale 1:24 <br />1:29 <br />1 gauge<br />3/8" scale 1:32 <br />Good link for you to look into: <a href="/TRC/CS/forums/353205/ShowPost.aspx">http://www.trains.com/TRC/CS/forums/353205/ShowPost.aspx</a></font></p><p><font size="4">The Toad was here <span class="smiley">[2c]</span></font></p>
