Hi Mictop, welcome to the forum.
As others have said, go for a fairly simple "OO" layout but make sure you invest in DCC - it is light years ahead of DC. The only problem I found with it is that all rail connections have to be electrically bonded (ie solder all the rail joints).
Dave; DCC is the future! Basically, you can control each locomotive from one controller without having to section the track. Imagine being able to independantly control every engine in a shed yard without any track sections!
Find someone who has a DCC layout and talk to them, they will be able to answer all your questions. The model shops will spout information from the instruction manuals but few have the practical experience of it.
