Hello all. My name is Chris and I'm out in the Charleston, SC area. I've always been a train enthusiast in HO scale but never really did more than set up an oval track once in a while to pass the time. My grandson will be 4 this year on September 11 and I was thinking of doing a train table that he and I could enjoy now and later when his little brother gets older. For now he enjoys his Thomas The Tank Engine wood set, but I'm sure he'll get a kick out of one that he doesn't have to push.

Hi my name is Bobby I'm new to the model train world, I'm from Massachusetts, and I want to build a ho train set from the northeast, I am thinking of starting out with a boston and maine setup, I was just a little confused in where to begin. Is there a big difference in quality with each model company and Is there a difference when purchasing a locomotive such as beginner to expert or is it all just about preference.

thank you 

Yep, I'm working with the old Marx 3-rail tracks and trucks/wheels.
Does anyone still use this stuff?
I'm making a dedicated layout, about 4'x4', hilly/mountain winter scene.
I plan to strip these tracks off their ties, re-bend them to 8"radius curves, convert it to a 2-rail system, and build short little engine and cars to traverse the town.
Is any of this possible?
I presume the third rail was to supply lighting?
Is it possible to convert to 2 rail?
How do these systems work?
