John A:
Just happened to think... I can post some textual info!
Here's what's purchased or already on hand two weeks into the decision:
* RTR Frisco VO1000. Will be sending it off for DCC/Tsunami sound installation soon.
* RTR Frisco SW7 w/DCC and QSI sound. (Paid $99 new in box.)
* RTR GCW DS4-4-1000 w/DCC and Tsunami sound.
* Two MDC 36' steel under frame "Swift" meat reefers to go to the cold storage/distribution warehouse.
* Code 83 switches from Peco and Atlas for evaluation.
Probably going to purchase enough Atlas code 83 flex track to almost do the layout within the next few days. However, I'm debating taking a look at Peco's code 83 flex track first.
In addition to the above I will be able to reuse the following still on hand from the previous HO years:
* RTR CB&Q SW7 w/DCC and QSI sound.
* Undec NW2 w/DCC and QSI Sound. (Will paint it "someday"... just not now.)
* 8 KC&G engines.
* 20-something pieces of rolling stock leftover from my previous HO days.
* Several Stewart/Kato F units and several Life Like P2K engines. However, these are all undecorated... so will be way down the list of priorities.
The short term plan is to continue purchasing the things I'll need as I develop my track plan, continue the process of selling off stuff, (S and other), strip the current bench work of S scale track, and redo the backdrop Masonite/corners. Once the layout is ready to receive track again, I hope to have enough stuff on hand to start in earnest.
My long term goal is to be up and functional in two years. Not "finished", but functional, and therefore can enjoy some personal operation as well as having a friend over to operate with me. It's been WAY too long since I've had a FUNCTIONING layout. Instead I kept spending valuable time trying to squeeze trains too big (Sn3, O, and S) into this small space I have to work with, and not being satisfied with the result being seen on the layout.
I'll bet all of the above is more than you wanted to know!
