Track work:  It has to work, step one.  Electrical reliability.  Prototypical signaling system, current detection.     Couplers.  Sergent Engineering.  Nothing less will do.   Wheelsets.  Semi-scale is good enough (code 88).  Will complete switch over from code 110 someday. Locomotives: all wheel pickup.  No reliance upon keep alives. Turnouts:  Handlaid with assistance of Fast Tracks filing blocks,  considering Oak Hills handlaid turnouts, but they kind of loose the advantage of handlaying (no floating ballast, ever). Ballast: no floating ballast. Locomotives:  No prochronisms, and preferably no parachronisms.  The later can be stretched a bit.  The former doesnt work for me.  Both are anachronism types. Rolling stock:  See locomotives. Air hoses: No Kadee trip pin "glad hands" on my railroad.  Well, there cant be, because there are no Kadees..  Going to give the PWRS magnetic air hoses a shot. DCC:  kind of a given. LCC:  how the signals will be implemented, and how they will interact with the DCC system. Roadbed: Cascade Rail Supply Homabed.   End goal: To be able to take a photo of a train, and have 95 percent of people question if they are actually looking at a model or not.
