Wow what a great time it was! I was amazed by the large layout 3rd level downstairs. It really was a treat for me and my wife...she is actually excited about this and looks forward to seeing what will unfod in our backyard. <br />With the sounds that can be triggered and the stuff that can be built (over time) and the landscaping that she can be involvedas well. I can tell you we are hooked. <br /> <br />I did ask questions and it seems LGB was brought up alot and most people encouraged us to start off with a started kit and build from that. Makes sense so far but I did hear from a clerk at a train shop that Aristo Craft solid brass track is just as good, easily to obtain and less expensive than LGB Track. ANy thoughts on this? <br /> <br />It seem to be a theme that we did like the steam type loco's will probaly start with that type for now. Even thoughI have a large back yard I only have room for a 4' loop of each end of the yard and seems like a steam type loco is shorter than a diesel type. <br /> <br />I am curious about remote control but seems like this cost more than basic power from track but I think I will start off basic for now. <br /> <br />I look forward to visiting the niegborhood GR society soon and learn a bit more along the way. <br /> <br />Well I am off to surf for a decent starter kit, i am hesitant towards LGB still. Should I go this route or re-consider. I value your inputs a great degree. <br /> <br /> <br />Thanks all, <br /> <br />Rick and wife
