 JD: Actually you have answered most, if not all, of your questions. For scale I'd suggest "O", for its visual appeal in your setting. Likely you want to model the "Chessie". Its a great old railroading name with considerable history attached to it. You can likely get a large number of pieces of rollingstock in their livery. Visit your LHS (local hobby shop), a google search indicates there is in fact one, and discuss your intentions with them. Also get a few books on the basics of the hobby. A visit to one or more of your local model railroading clubs is also in order. Ask lots of questions, experienced model railroaders love to discuss methods and options. Don't forget to take you wife along, she will enjoy the experience as much or more than you do. Have fun and enjoy. Randy
