You have to like trains. That's what you need to get started. Everything else sort of comes from that. Ok seriously, I think you have a good start so far. Ask lots of questions and read lots of train stuff. Here is a link to part of the NMRA site. They have some useful info, and PICTURES! YAY!: http://www.nmra.org/beginner/basicplan.html http://www.nmra.org/beginner/wiring.html As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
watash- that explaination was extremely helpful, thank you very much. I'll let you know how progress goes!
Joe, we are as close as email and enjoy helping. It makes it easier if you run into a problem, to email one of us directly or post here if you aren't in a hurry, and someone will help almost around the clock. Photos help too!
