If I were you, I'd run right over to Litchfield Station right there in the Phoenix area. They have helped me over the phone and always have what I need in stock. P.S. - I'd start with the Bachmann 2-8-0. It's simple and you'll be very happy with the results. While you're working on the 2-8-0, change out the LED with something a little brighter. I'm sure Litchfield can help with that too.
