Hello everyone:  I am new to the forum and new to garden railroading.  I am planning an outdoor display with a Spring 07 start date for construction.  I have the perfect place and feel like it won't be too much of a problem. What I am having problems with is selecting my engines and rolling stock.  I've look at and read just about everything on the major manufactures and realize I need some advice.  Money is of course an issue so interested in getting the most for my doller but without breaking the bank. Two sources I've been looking at.  1) Bachmann's "Big Hauler" engines and 2) USA Trains's military series with their GP7 locomotive. Also, what do you think about buying a starter set first?  I've looked at Bachmann's ads and they have serveral that seem perty good.  Just wanted to be sure the engine that comes in the set is the same engine shown in their Big Hauler line.  Anyone had any experience with this? One more thing, can you run rolling stock from one mfg. on track purchased from another? Thanks for taking the time to send me your responce.  I have a lot to learn about equipment I know. SRS 4501
