My recommendation would be to NOT buy any track or trains yet. You need to purchase things like layout books, articles on the time period you want to model, benchwork, wiring, whether you want DC or DCC. I recommend DCC. To me, it's just ludicrous to go DC today. No offence to you DC guys, I know there are a lot of you out there. DCC is the wave of the future. There's just tons more important stuff to spend money on right now, than trains. Think about this: What if you buy all that stuff and then decide model railroading isn't for you? At least if you buy books and literature first, you'll learn a lot, and probably decide for sure if it's what you want to do.
