I am a newbe to the model train thing. Looking at starting a RR for my son and myself as father / son hobby and fun together. Question is what about the power for the trains everyone talks about DC and DCC and I see all the huge lay outs of power grids and what not. We are looking at doing a seen during WW ll with army units and the works on a 4*6' area. would like to have the lighting ie: street lights and building lights etc. as well as the proper power to the train. What do I need to get started. I have decided not to buy a box set due to the fact that reguardless of which one you get you still need more track. looking to buy track for the layout then the engine something in the steam eara. and add as I go but back to the power thing, I need some suggestions on what and how to get this started before I start my layout.
