first, hopefully i am in the correct forum YES, INDEED

lionel was the only product available when i was a kid, but i see an o gauge distributer called mth (less expensive)

do people mix and match - for example if i were to buy a transformer from meh, would it work on lionel products or do you risk losing some of the bells and whistles (literally) - is the rolling stock compatible. IT IS COMPATIBLE, ALONG WITH ONE OR TWO OTHER BRANDS.

another question is am i better served buying through the internet or working through a dealer. FIND A GOOD LOCAL DEALER AND USE THE NET WHEN IT SERVES YOU.

would appreciate any comments and suggestions BEGIN WITH A STARTER SET TO SAVE MONEY. I RECOMMEND MTH RAILKING.

thank you
