Which gauge would be best for starting up a layout for model railroading?
Space is not an issue. I’m hoping for one with the greatest variety of trains, cars, and accesories. And can tracks and trains(motors) from different manufactures be used together?

What kind of coupler is best for a ho train layout.?
I am new to Model Trains. I have bachmann e-z mate couplers and life like kadee couplers. I had a problem with the spring coming out on the bachmann coupler. Witch one is more popular and durable, kadee or knuckle?
Sorry, I thought that kadee was something else. Can somebody send me a list of couplers w/pictures to help me identify my life like coupler.
