I also concur and recommend one of the Woodland Scenics Layout Kits. They come in HO and N Scales. The Kits include everything to construct a layout. The kit does not include buildings, track, or the train. Woodland Scenics offers a seperate building set, or you can select your own from other manufacturers. Woodland Scenics suggests that Atlas track be used. And you can select or put together your own train set. For an HO set, I recommend an Athearn, Bachmann Spectrum or Life Like Proto 1000/2000 locomotive of your choice. Any HO scale cars will work (I like the Athearn car kits, but ready-to-run cars are available as well). Others on this forum can recommend N-scale equipment. Find a local Hobby Shop and tell them want you want. Big discount stores don't know anything about the model trains except how to sell poorly made train sets. A good hobby shop will be very knowledgable about the products and will work with you personally. They will also be able to answer questions you may have as will this forum.
