Welcome back to model railroading, Bill. A great deal has changed since you operated that Lionel set in 0 or 0/27 scale. Before anyone can sincerely make the best recommendation for your needs, some important questions should be answered. What era of model railroading do you desire? Are you wanting Steam Era, Diesel, Modern day rolling stock and engines, or combine items. <br /> <br />Does you buget allow you to go DCC or would anolog work best for right now ? How good or poor is your modeling skills ? <br /> <br />Most of us would make some recommendations like purchasing good rolling stock that allows you to use Kadee "Knuckle" couplers and purchase metal wheels to get smoother operations. Also having a good power supply such as MRC Tech equipment. The next thing is while your looking at the Walther's Catalog link for all of your railroad needs, email a good friend of mine at redison@grandecom.net who is a good supplier most often discounting and always willing to help you get started. <br /> <br />You should also view some links provided below and again, welcome back into model railroading and good luck with the new family: <br /> <br /><font color="blue"><center>http://www.greatesthobby.com/ <br />http://www.woodlandscenics.com/ <br />http://www.ihc-hobby.com/cgi-bin/bsc.cgi?sn=013</center></font id="blue">
