Ho all the way!
Hi John,
Welcome to the wonderful world of HO trains. Les is right about the Kadee Knuckle couplers on new or present Locomotives and rolling stock. The old horn hooks are being phased out on Higher quality RTR Trains. One of the first things that was suggested to me many years ago was to grab a Walthers HO reference guide and some Kalmbach publications(Model Railroader magazine) and do a bit of research into what your layout,locomotives,rolling stock,track(code 83), buildings,figures,vehicles and scenery might consist or look like. Blend in a little imagination and start from there. Do you have kids? They just love being included in the process. Just on shear scale alone your layout in HO will have more space, detail, etc. then you would have with O or G scale. You have certainly found a good group of guys to help you with any questions. Good luck!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
