Yes I too started with an LGB starter set and soon I will have 130 m or 400' of track with 4 locos, all being controlled by LGB MTS. You have been given a bit of not quite right info, the size of your layout nor the tightness of the curves will affect the size of your power supply. What will affect it is the number and type of locos youhave running and/or as I do, having illuminated carriages for night running these will affect the size of the power pack. Also track side stuff that draws power. <br /> <br />Another thing which is right but not 100 % so, is if you run LGB and i wouldn't run anything else, the size of your locos and rolling stck will have no undue affect on how the curves work, all will run on R3 albeit they will look a bit funny though, running a Mikado on R3, my Mallet looks funny and it is much smaller. <br /> <br />Do not consider buying anything until you have your starter set going and just like topsy it will grow from there. You will get your own ideas and just take it easy step by step, less is more! <br /> <br />A message for your mother, if she likes to have a drink in the evenings, nothing is better relaxation than watching the little lights of loco and carriages running around in the dark. And this may well be your next addition, illumination of carriages. <br /> <br />Rgs from downunder <br /> <br />ian
