I'm building a four-room layout in HO and have decided to get the Zephyr to start with, as I'll be building one room at a time instead of the entire layout at once. The Zephyr should easily power the track for the first room (running Kato engines on the mainline and Athearn on the switches), I'll probably never have more than six to ten engines per block. It's cheaper and will get me up and running. When I expand I plan to get the Super Chief and move the Zephyr to the next room as a stationary throttle...after that just keep adding boosters and ir ports for the branches as I move into the smaller side rooms. I'm putting in the wiring as I go to install tortoises on all my switches, while the Zephyr won't do much for me in that regard, when I hook up the Super Chief a few months down the road and plug in a computer I hopefully won't have to do any additional wiring.
