Jim and ABC,
Thanks so much for your helpful comments.  I'm really excited to get my track set up and enjoy all the creativity that goes along with it.

I've already been purchasing buildings and scenery so the additional lighting is all icing on the cake.

Thanks again!
Dale

After a 30 year hiatus I recently purchased a new Bachmann Walt Disney Carolwood Train Set!  I'm excited to get back into the hobby but wow, it's changed since I bought my last train in the 70's!  :-)  Now it's time for some basic questions.

The set came with the black steel EZ Track system.  From what I've read I think this will meet my needs.   However, I would like to add some additional track and I'm curious if there is a limit to how much track I could add without affecting the amount of power to the train.  What about accessories?  Does anyone have advice or a good rule of thumb to follow?

Thanks for the words of wisdom!
