Model Railroad for my Man Cave

Three of my favorite things are planes, trains, and automobiles. I've got the plane and automobile aspects covered pretty well but not the trains until now. My wife says I'm taking up too much room in the house so it looks like the Man Cave is the only place I have to set up a model train. Since the, uhm, environment in the Man cave isn't exactly controlled, my scale stuff won't last so I've decided to go with American Flyer trains. I just got some track, a locomotive, and a few pieces of rolling stock. It should be a lot of fun. I think these older American Flyer trains run on AC current instead of CD like the newer trains, so I have a lot to learn. Lots of neat mechanical stuff on the engine, like a forward/reverse controller (can't just reverse the polarity on an AC motor), cammed sound unit, smoke generator, etc. Should be a lot of fun and give me some incentive to get off my lazy behind and get the Man Cave cleaned out.
