Hi, I'm still in the "armchair", stage of buidling my HO layout, but I
want to start off on the right foot. Just a few questions if I may:
1: Who makes quality diesels, yet inexpensive. Atlas is OUT for me
because of $$
2: Can I buy rolling stock from only one maufacturer to assure compatibilty on couplers?
3:Do most of them have to be removed and replaced with standardized couplers.
4: Is KAydee the defacto standard? Any other to recommend?
I just don't want to start buying what I like without a thout to standardization and compatibility.
Thanks very much...every little bit of hel, helps. I bought a Life-like HO GP38 Santa Fe and it looks kind of cheap , a lot like a toy. Is there a better inexpensive brand?
