my original thread was not about Holiday train sets, just that cheap stuff is offered this time of year.
what I envision is an old west theme, somewhere in Arizona. the engine, coal tender and 1-2 passenger cars? (how many usually?) putzing through the desert. a small station, water tower, maybe a stagecoach waiting for the train. Indians on a bluff watching......... men digging posts for the telegraph wires, etc....... sand and cactus, that's the plan...... now to see if it can be done.

Craig you might want to look at some of the different scales then , although I don't believe there are startersets in On3 or HOn3, mind you I have no experience in these scales , but a lot of the Western themed layouts seem to be in these scales, downside for you to this is I believe it involves a lot of scratchbuilding and such, crrect me if I'm wrong guys.
