First decide what KIND of track you wish to have. I reccomend Atlas true track but make sure you plan out what it is going to look like BEFORE you start buying track.
Hope this helps.

Well before I asked an opinion on which engine to purchase so that brings me to a new question. Since I have enough money for Bill and Ben or Spencer should I purchase the Bill and Ben, wait for D&D, or wait for the 2011 announcements?

[jettrainfan]

this is just me but I'd go for the old stuff before the new, but that's anthern where they make a model for 1-2 years. So I'd say Bill & Ben and you could save up again to buy D&D, the next lot, ETC when they come out 

[TheJJ]

Well when you put it like that Bill and Ben sound like the best choice...so most likely I'll do that (wait).

Ok I had a great idea (my opinion)!!! I know many modelers want to make the skarloey engines well I know how.
Now this isn't accurate but I still think its great. I'm gonna get a "Gandy Dancer" and cut out the inside of a take-along model until its a shell and simply adjust to fit perfectly. Now it may take A LONG TIME to get my parents to order one but it will be worth it. I'm know it WON't be perfect but it should still give the general idea of a narrow gauge engine. Please list your thoughts.

Never heard of anyone doing that, if you make it post pictures for sure!
