Thanks, everyone, for all of your helpful suggestions.  After obsessing on this project for about 3 hours, I think what I have ended up with is the Bachmann  Spectrum HO FRONTIERSMAN Southern Train set which is about $160.  I could then add the Bachmann Expander nickel-silver set (12 pieces of snap-fit E-Z Track�, including 4 pieces of 9″ straight, 4 pieces 18″ radius curved track, 1 remote turnout-left, 1 remote turnout-right, and 2 Hayes bumpers) for another $57,    -OR-    I could assume the E-Z Track is going to be too frustrating and buy the Atlas figure 8 track set (Roadbed Estimate - 31 feet, Includes: Track, 3 Remote Control Switches, Track Connector Controls, Track Nails, Atlas Layout Book #9) for $100.  Would the Atlas track set be compatible with the Bachmann train and power pack/speed controller?  Which do you think would be a better choice -- stick with the Bachmann track and expander set or transition immediately to the Atlas track? Thanks, again, for everyone's help and advice.
