Hello to all---I am new to this haven't used a train since my days as a kid back in the early 60's. Back then it was a Lionel 2-6-0 with a coal tender and a red caboose. Anyways I am totally lost as to the new products today. My interests are in HO, looking at modeling a "local" New England line. Primarily I am interested in GP35 locos. Who makes a decent loco and what do I need to start with. A lot of chatter about DCC, have no clue as to what that is. Should I have DCC compatable stuff? Looking for a decent running with some kind of accurate looks. I have a brother who is big into G scale and he mentioned Athearn. Any help would be appreciated.---John
