I'm just two years into G gauge, tho I have had about 60 years off and on experience with O, HO and N. That experience has not helped me at all as I moved into G, mostly for my grandkids. It was all brand new except for the nomenclature of the cars and locomotives. I started out buying an Aristo starter set with a radio controlled handset thrown in as a freebie (by Aristo). It comes with Aristo track and so you are already having the right kind of track....i.e. one that won't let you down later and which you can incorporate either into your outdoor RR, or, if you decide later to go Aristo stainless, into the indoor one you build around your Christmas tree seasonally! As Tangerine Jack suggests, I learned a lot just by throwing down some track out in the yard and running that starter set ($125 mas or meno). I learned that I wanted to go DCC; I wanted stainless track; I wanted better locomotives. All of which leads you into the black hole of wanting more and better. But, isn't that the greatest part of the fun???!!! Get that Garden Ry magazine now; rush out and get one at the hobby store now; look at the color ads for Aristo starter sets. Beginning to salivate? Can't wait another second? Welcome to the incredible world of model railroading! You'll love it!
