James, welcome to a great hobby! It is quite difficult to tell you what you need to get the trains going you inherited, without knowing the scale and the make of it. Aside from engines and cars, you need track, matching to the scale and make of your trains, and a power pack, which supplies and controls the power routed through the track to your engine. The National Model Railroaders Association (NMRA) has compiled a beginner´s guide, which I receommend to read for a start - click here: <a href="http://www.nmra.org/beginners-guide" target="_blank">NMRA Beginner´s Guide</a>
