OK going to my first 2 rail show tomorrow. What should I be looking for as my first pieces of 2 rail...I have a wish list of Track, an engine, and to play with DCC systems.

Enjoy. One note on MTH rolling stock. The older rolling stock didn't have Kadee mounting pads, but you can still convert them with minor modification (a little drilling, gluing a spacer in. On the early Auto Racks and 73-foot Centerbeam flats, you have to cut sections out of the chassis to move the trucks to their proper location, but it's not hard. Microfasterners.com will become your new best friend for 2-56 and 2mmx8 screws and nuts.
