Elonna I' ve been in N-Scale for years now and I would NOT recomend steam locos for new comers. If you are going to buy one then get a Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0. It is the best reasonable priced ($65-$85 if you shop around) loco that will actually run worth a darn. However like about all N-Scale steam locos it does have rubber "traction" tires (rubber bands on 2 of the wheels) on 2 of the drivers and until they are broke in they will foul the track rather quickly, so you will have to get used to alot of track cleaning. I would recomend Atlas or Kato or even the newer Life-Like 4 axle desiels. These engines are excellent runners and can take tight curves also. There are quite a few with L&N paint jobs out there and plenty of rolling stock as well.
