I am wanting to start a HO layout but I have no clue where to start. I refuse to buy a complete set because I heard the power supplies and the engines are junk.
I am wanting something in the E7 or E8 or FT engine styles and I like the Bachmann and Proto 2000 brands. I am wanting to start with a passenger train and later add a Northfolk Southern freight.
I dont know exactly what I need as far as the best engine for the price, DCC, and sound. Is it better to buy a engine with sound and DCC equipped or and engine that is DCC ready and add a sound system.
Basically I want this....

and I need to know what I need to get the sound and light control.
