@alex: I want as much realism as I can get for the lowest price. When I was little I had a Thomas the Tank Engine train set. I liked that one and I still play with it some when I'm super bored, but I would like one that runs on electricity and looks more realistic.
I'll work on my dad to see if he'll at least move everything to one side. Maybe for Christmas we can do that and get me a starter set.
Thanks,

yeah, i hear you
i say, an Athearn loco, say, a GP9, does everything, and 5 athearn cars, and a caboose, an oval of track, flextrack works good if its on a board, but first time use Atlas Snap Track, or equavalent
what Railroads interest you most? If you want to do them all, in recent years, Railroads are leasing power to each other
MRC make a good power pack, Athearn make good locos and Rollingstock, and Atlas make good track. get some of this stuff, and your on your way
oh yeah, get 22" radius track over 18", or use flextrack if your confortable cutting it
