we are actually just about ready to start running trains this week end.. its been a long wait but the work is paying off in many ways - better track work, more interesting scenery, better quality in general, and our story line will have some good direction once we get to that point.. after all this is a joint venture with my 9 year old daughter so a really good set of stories is a must!!

honestly i have not made much of an investment. a number of great folks gave us much of what we have and of course good swaps have helped a lot also..
there are lots of ways to reduce costs also like staying traditional DC (direct current) versus DCC (digital command control, using scraps from multiple resources, and making the limited funds stretch very far by buying used items or catching someone getting out of the hobby..
I have a couple folks who are sending me items i dont want/need (HO scale and such) but they dont have a use for.. i use this a great trading fodder.. folks switching scales often will swap 1:1 of these items..
as for space N scale is great for small or large layouts.. we started with the idea of staying small but found a lot of tricks to getting larger..
