Do to size constraints, I'm switching from O gauge to HO. I'm not real savvy on O gauge and even less on HO...if possible. I'm looking at 2 options. I'm not diving too deep into this now so I'm looking at a HO starter set. I found a Bachmann with DCC that has 2 engines, track, and cars. There isn't any sound. I can always get an engine with sound later if I decide to. I notice that there are even sound cars that I could buy. I'm also fond of Lionel...I'd like the polar express. I really like the way the Lionel track works but I don't think it's as cost conscience as EZ track will be...by far. I've been looking around and I guess the PE can be ran conventional, DCC, app, and Blue Tooth. Do I have to run Lionel DCC on EZ track? Can I run it bluetooth on the DCC track? I'm guessing DCC puts the max volts onto the track and the DCC controller controls the wattage to the train? Therefore, it would be powered much like Lionel and the wall wart so it looks like you could run it as bluetooth. Am I way off base on this? I'm not going to gung ho on ho but am I going/thinking the wrong direction? thanks, Jeff
