Hello everyone. I am considering getting back into HO model railroad after a long stint away from it. (Once I started getting paid to play trains, playing trains got boring) I have a few questions about somethings before I get too involved. What do most people think of Bowser loco kits? I am looking more for something to tinker with for awhile, since I really have no place to run trains. Are they impossible to put together or fairly simple? What kind of tools will I need? Could I install DCC in them? Is there someone who makes sound systems to go in them? Basically I am thinking of building a freelance railroad set in the Southeastern or South-Central part of Kentucky between 1945-1950 and I think Bowser's USRA locos would fit the bill nicely for motive power. Since I have no place to run them now, I am just looking at slowly building up my collection and going from there. I definetly want to have DCC and sound on as many of the locos as I can so, I just want to start off on the right track and have them installed BEFORE I get too big a collection. Also, does anyone know of a program that lets you design and make your own decals with a PC? Thanks.
