Joebob, <br /> Yeah, I would definitely stay away from the Life-Like train sets. Like they say, you get what you pay for. For me, I feel it's a lot more enjoyable to have a few high quality expensive locomotives & rolling stock running on tried and true track, than to have a big empire of flipppy floppy toy junk that looks like a model train and runs like a broken toaster. <br />I have a few Kato & Atlas locomotives, Microtrains & Atlas rolling stock, and run them on Atlas track where they all run smooth and very realiably all the time. I don't want to trash Life-Like, they do make pretty good engines in their Proto 2000 series in HO scale. But their train sets are probably not going to last you a long time and will probably frustrate you into leaving the hobby quickly. <br /> Another thing, having the best locomotives & rolling stock will make it very easy for you to sell or trade in the future if you change your railroad plans. You owe it to yourself to get the best stuff, it's a lot more enjoyable! <br /> Have fun, Pete
