Probably a really silly question, but I just wanted to be sure.
I am an Englishman living in the United States. I used to love 00 gauge railway modelling back home (many, many years ago), and would like to get back into the hobby, this time with an N scale layout.
If I build my N scale layout using (American) Bachmann components - track, controllers, etc, and then buy my locos and rolling stock online, shipped from the UK (Graham Farish products: http://www.bachmann.co.uk/farish.php), will I have any problems running the British trains on the American layout?
I'm excited about having a layout again. I'm looking to model the railway of my youth - British Rail in the 1970s and 1980s. Fun stuff like this, which used to show up at Liverpool Lime Street station:
Getting to grips with DCC is probably going to be first step in the process (it was all analogue last time I had model trains).
Anyway, any advice re: running British N gauge trains on an American N scale layout would be much appreciated.
