Hi Dawnrider,
If you are starting from scratch, go for a "OO" gauge DCC starter set. They usually come with two small locos and make a good basis for a layout. There is an enormous difference between the "old" 12v DC and DCC. DCC requires far less wiring on a layout and the control of trains is far better. Most DCC control units come with all sorts of bits and pieces built in for future expansion of your layout (such as sound and signal/point control). After trying DCC, you would never revert to the "old" system.
I have tried every size from "Z" to "G"; as a hobby, you can't beat it.
