Are you going with Lionel or some other product such as Bachmann? The Lionel track is three rail and the others are 2 rail. Lionel claims there track is easier to wire.
Its going to be a mix... I'm buying atlas O track cause of its real world look. I bought an MTH loco. Just got done painting it ill post pics later.
My newest hobby is definitely my Fury and I love it!! Other than that I like camping, hitting the dunes on my quad, rc cars, guns, bowling, and my favorite hobby, FISHING!!!
My MTH Dash-8 Locomotive... I'm going for a military feel. I totally re-done the paint to make it look more weathered and to appear it's been in service for awhile. Going to be working on the benchwork today.
If you RC car boys ever want something painted you know where to find me.
