When I first saw this thread, I gave it a quick look and thought... there will be plenty of advice offered, here. Then I moved on...
For some reason, I thought about you and what may possibly lie ahead...
I then thought back to what I did, how I started and progressed; and where I am today.
Common sense should tell you to become informed, and one of the best ways to become informed is through experience. The "experience" itself(buying, running trains, building stuff, fixing broken things, swearing, more swearing, being mad, being pumped waiting for your new arrival, meeting friends, sharing with friends, meeting me on this forum, wanting more, your interest waxing and waning, swearing you'll never buy another of these pieces of **** again, buying lots more of these pieces of ****, considering building another new layout, building a new layout, trying different types of equipment...) is O gauge railroading.
There's no official entrance or route, into O gauge model railroading. Just walk in... any way you want.
