Atlas Flex is relatively inexpensive and decent quality. Their turnouts are pretty good, too. Athearn makes pretty good stuff - and not too expensive. Both locos and rolling stock. Some of their newer "Genesis" line is more expensive, but for starters, you could do well with the cheaper stuff. Athearn sells basic train sets now, too. Stay away from some of the cheaper brands. I won't mention names here, but Athearn is decent. There are several books that have small switching layouts. You can build something small, hone your skills, and move onto something bigger later. Perhaps after proving to you parents that you plan on sticking with the hobby, they would make some allowances for you to find some more room for a layout. Rob
