First a comment, track doesn't wear down with bright boy cleaning, though contemporary thinking is beginning to move away from abrasive track cleaners (microscopic scratches holding dirt). You might want to say roughly where you live, that way some one might be able to direct you to a better LHS. Or order over the net and pay by money order if you don't have a credit card. There are some very good ones and just ask for a recommendation and you will be swamped with replies. And this is something no one really discusses yet most guys have experienced. Allow for your tastes in things model railroad and layout building to become more "sophisticated." What you like now isn't necessarily what you will like latter. For example, pretend sectional track doesn't exist, you'll be much happier in the long run. The first early stages of laying your flex track might challenge you - but only mentally - once you have discovered how easy it is. Go slow, including that power pack, you might be better off with a cheap dcc unit. Think things through, ask lots of questions, be prepared to change your mind, accept the challenges, and don't allow fear and frustration freeze you. Good luck!
