thanks for those info guys!!

btw,guys what type of train is the blue train from the movie UNSTOPPABLE? i love that train

yes I know how to solder thanks to my engineering college days:-) so what I must learn is the proper wiring so I will not damaging the decoder.thanks! another question soon....

just have patience with me guys for asking too many questions...hehe!

I dont know if this question is a dumb question:-) ('forgive me") but I will still ask you expert guys,I received a bachmann santa fe flyer train set from my wife..I know its not one of those fancy trains but is there a way you can put dcc on this kind of trains?

wow!It seems its a long way for me to this hobby,but with your shared knowledge maybe I will be a pro railroad modeler in no time;-) thanks again!

Guys I saw some video putting wiring's on the tracks I mean attaching wires and soldering it, what is the purpose on doing that?It puts more power when you got a big layout?

Well thanks to you all who shared their expertise and knowledge:-) I'm just excited waiting for my engine to arrive.

ok,since this is my first time maybe I will first try the MRC,but does it sound good?

Its sounds okay, that is why it is cheaper, the Tsunami sounds great though, but that is why it is more expensive ($120+).

$120? it's like another new train:-)

ok,since this is my first time maybe I will first try the MRC,but does it sound good?

Finally,after some info from you guys and research I decided to get the 2-8-4 berkshire instead,it's not too long and not too short engine.

a.)So what kind or radius of tracks should I use so it will run smooth in curves?

b.)what accessories should I buy to put sound on it?

My Aunt is buying me a gift and it's the Ho spectrum dcc on board usra 2-10-2,so is this a good engine guys? and can i put sound on it?

how long will the motor of the train will last before it retire?

Yup the dewitt clinton is much more for display,but imagine it running on a modern layout:-) about my 0-6-0 I'm glad that there is hope putting dcc or sound on it.But as of now I'm focusing on saving money for the spectrum line. Since there is no local hobbyshops here in Philippines that sell model trains..so I have to buy it online.

guys I really appreciate your comments and replies,I just realize that i made a bad choice for a first engine and putting sound on it,but still I still like my first train.Because of your very informative information the next time I know what steam train to buy:-) 

As of now I will gather items for decorating a scenery maybe from woodland scenic or Do it myself and plan a simple layout since I dont the luxury of space.

By the way do you guys own a BAHCMANN Ho DEWITT CLINTON?any review? I also like it because its unique and cute:-) of course I'm not dreaming to put sound on it!hahahaha!!:-)

I really appreciate your help and being honest about what to do or not...
