Scale:
HO, since it has the most options and was, at one time, affordable.
Style of layout:
Right now, my layout is a 4x8 oval, but in the future, i'd like to build a "point-to-point" layout.
Brief reason of choice:
the oval was convenient for my space. in the future though, i'd like to model a few representative sections of the Northeast Corridor, with staging connecting the ends.
DCC or DC:
DCC all the way. there would be know practical way to control all these EMUs and other trains with DC block wiring.
Sound or No sound:
Sound if available, but not 100% necessary
