Thank you guys for all your wisdom and insight.....its greatly appreciated. I am going to start looking at the Dc sets to see what there is to choose from and compare the price of $149.00 CAN which is what i can get the Digital Commander set for. At that price its almost worth going with the digital.......am i right?

Thats what i am hoping......tried alot of other hobbies in the past but nothing has really held my interest for longer than a month...lol

Well i figured i would go with the newest technology out there on the market , but i have really been debating between dc and dcc. Yampa bob had mentioned a system..."Chatanooga" which seems to be along the lines of what i may be looking for looking. Are there any ready to run systems you would recommend? I am leaning towards Bachmann just for the fact of the track they use.

Right now i am just looking to set something up on 4x8 sheet and in all honestly that is probably as big as i will get. I want to take the time to build a nice scenic project . I dont know railroad line or what type of track is best which is why i would like to buy a expandable complete set and see and learn as i go.

Hi, i'm looking at getting into the hobby and i am looking at getting a RTR DCC Train Set but i am not sure what to get. Definately want a H.O. system , i am looking at the Bachman Digital Commander Deluxe Set with DCC. Any input on this set? Looked at Atlas Trainman sets as well as some waltham sets........any imput on a good set to start out with would be greatly appreciated!!
