Hi bagzy [#welcome] First off LGB is regular sized stuff it's just the U.S got rid of 4Wh wagons very early in thier RR history[:D]. Bachmann do what you call regular sized cars as do all the manufacturers. Welcome to the large mine field that is large scale mind your step[:D] Most people on the Forum mix and match brands keeping a strong eye on proportions.as all the manufacturers use different scales on the same gauge, some also do a lot of scratch building. 0-4-0 means no leading wheels no trailing wheels and 4 driving wheels it is one of the standard ways of notation for steam locomotives wheel arangements. If you can afford it I would get individual pieces that you like and the largest radius curves that will fit in the space you have avalable. If you get Aristocraft locomotives pay attention to the radius that locomotive needs they dont have a rule that says everything must go round first radius 2' most things look abit odd on that so its best avoided if you can. are you confused enough yet[:)] In my very BIASED opinion if you can aford it get an LGB set if you go down the train set route With care a large number of the few lineside acsessories avalable can be used with all brands its that watch proportion thing again. Even some of the old tinplate stuff could work as well but take that back in when finished I believe some of that is very colectable not that i ever cared about that sort of thing. regards John
