As some of you know who responded to my first question in my foray into learning about MRR, I am extremely brand new. I am getting involved for my son who adores trains, but the more I research, the more I find my own interest and excitement developing. I bought my first introductory "how to book" and have 6 more on the way. I have not even bought the firs train or piece of track yet. My great-uncle was a railroader at Cinncinati's Union Terminal (do not remember which rr he worked for). I grew up in Covington, KY and am interested in modeling the L&N in N scale. I have been doing some research but am finding it difficult to find steam locos. I have found similar models from other RRs, for example 2-8-2s, 4-6-2s, etc. But can not see spending $50 - $150 for a loco that I am going to have to paint if I want to run the L&N. As a beginner, I do not think I am ready for kits even if I could find them. Am I going to have to just decide on another line to start with or does anyone have any suggestions? I know I could go HO, but really do not have that much room for a decent layout...but another rr or a smaller HO layout is all I can come with. Thank you.
