Thank you for all of the input.. You've all given me something to think about and to decide upon before proceeding.
For the record, it was always my intention to use a US PSU. I've been here long enough to know the pitfalls of trying to use UK electrical equipment here so for me it was a no brainer. I'm just looking for any input on using a US PSU with UK OO guage track and furthermore, locos. Both of which devoured a considerable amount of pocket money :-).
My immediate thought, having also done a lot of Internet research over the past days, is to develop a layout, using the existing track I have and supplementing new track, that would incorporate completely separate DC for nostalgic reasons for old locos and a larger proportion of DCC fed track for new locos

I have a long but hopefully enjoyable road ahead and any and all recommendations or suggestions would be appreciated

Hi Rogertra,

Thanks for the input, I had envisaged having issues especially with the electrics. Do you have any thoughts on using HO track with OO track? I've been reading that there are different 'types' of HO track, e.g. No83 and No.100

I have mainly some very old Tri-Ang and some more modern, circa UK 1980s, Hornby plus some Lima and various bits and pieces. I'll likely look to replace the couplings where possible.

Hi.. I moved to the US some time ago and brought with me an extensive (locomotives, rolling stock, track etc.) OO gauge collection that was originally my fathers and then mine as a boy.
I've recently renewed my interest in building a layout here in the US but other than knowing that HO and OO are compatible can anyone provide me with any pointers to get me started in being to build a layout using my (very) old gear but using US power supplies and controllers as well as any other complications I may not have considered??

Thank you.
