Hello, I'm just getting started in HO trains is there a resource that would get me up to par on RR terminology? Thanks.
There are probably a lot of books you can buy, search the net for something that is in your price range and suits your needs. Kalmbach Publishing may have some.
You'll find a lot of information, and links to even more, here: http://www.building-your-model-railroad.com/
