    DCC Question

    If you have $200 I would get a MRC Prodigy Express, It's a big step up from Bachman and only costs about $130 (Price Varies) it's a 1.5 amp system and it will give you more options and control features then the Bachman and is really easy to set up and use. Although the disadvantages are that...

    Athearn RTR Gp38-2

    I did some searching around and it turns out it is not DCC ready it's pretty much a updated Blue Box locomotive. I might go with the atlas, although I did find this nice deal on an BLI sd40-2 w/Sound for only $99 pretty much 50% off retail. http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/product_p/bli-5013.htm

    New Layout, New Location

    Here's the updated version with the added track. As for the roads, I'm not entirely sure how they will be setup. What I put down is just a basic idea, but the overpass idea might work well.
