Hmmm...coaches? What are they? Do these locomotives emit smoke with oil?

I have alloted about 100-150 dollars (US) of my Christmas Money to buy a good steam locomotive. Its gonna pull about 5 passenger cars plus a tender. I want it to be large but not huge. I'd like it to smoke, if possible. Thanks!

fixed Here is my entry. I had a little trouble getting a pic posted. It lies beneath my tree, all KMart-type village houses(with the exception of my Dept. 56 boat) . In the foreground is the park, then Main Street, and the train tracks. I like to change the placement of the buildings each year...

PLease notice in my contest pic i do have a train.

Ya my transformer has an accesory port. What kind of thing attatches to it to run the buildings to?

The picture in the contest was edited by my friend.(though it is my setup, picture, entry, etc) Every time I tried to make it to size, it wouild be to small. How can I make it larger, but still in the guidelines. It is compressed as far as my program (Hewlett Packard Photo Thing) would let it go.

I like that!

thanks.....

Where do I post my COntest picture for the month of Nov/Dec? I have some good ones to put up once i put em on the comp.

I'm basically talking about a whistle that you can operate not on a train and a chugga chugga noise for on the train.

Are there any devices (HO) that make a good sound steam whistle for an affordale price? Also, are there any devices (HO) that hook onto the train to make a chugga chugga sound in sync with the train's speed? (I know that there are ones in coal cars for O scale)

thanks :-)

Sorry guys, yes I was referring to the complete layout pack cid was talking about. I saw one with everything for about 350 USD. Also, buildings and scenery can be bought seperate

I just saw the movie and am hooked! I believe Lionel is making it in O scale. Is any company making it in HO or are there any HO scale locos and cars similar?

Cid- I certainly dont mind a duck under, i had a C shape going. I think a duckunder is a great idea. Thanks a lot!!!!

Thanks for asking those questions Bill. I am a bit undecided yet. I am doing HO since its availability and size. I cant help but smaile when I see N scale trains, theyre so cute and small. Kinda intricate I think. I dunno about size either. I cant go much bigger than 6X8 or so. I've made up a...
