After spending too many late-night computer sessions checking out websites on model railroading (we will talk about some of those later), I hastily decided on going with HO scale and DCC control. In a nutshell, DCC seemed to be the latest and greatest thing and I was very lucky when I made this decision as, being a bit smarter now, I would not have wanted it any other way.
So I started looking for a locomotive. The only type of train I have ever seen at a theme park was a steam train. So I went looking for one. That's when I found this Baldwin Modern 4-4-0 Loco with DCC and sound on board from Spectrum.
I got it for a really good price and made a few other purchases (see following posts) and waited for it to arrive in the mail. In the meantime, I kept studying.
I had remembered that I had a $50.00 gift certificate from a local hobby shop that I had received last Christmas that I never used. So off I went to pick up a few pieces of track so I could test the train out when it arrived.
