So I’m looking for a little direction on where to go next. I have many cars that are in great shape and some new in box, but nothing to pull it with that’s reliable. I’d like a new or used Diesel engine, I lean more modern in type and style. Ideally I’d like it to have a horn/bell/lights etc for the kids.

The track seems self explanatory, I just need more of it.

Would I be better just getting a new Lionel kit set with the wireless controller or just trying to look for a new locomotive by itself? What era or style loco would be best to look for?

Brandon, You may want to start with a SEARCH of the FOR SALE Forum. I've found many good items at fair prices from other members of this forum. For reliability at a reasonable price the Williams engines are hard to beat. John
