The Super Chief starter set comes with everything you need to get started, except a power supply. You may, however, want to get a few more decoders - enough to run as many locos as you want to get started with. For radio control, refer to the Super Radio Chief page. For O or G scales, refer to the O/G Super Chief or to the Super Radio O/G Chief pages.

The Super Chief has more features, and more ways to use them, than any other system on the market.

While another system may have a "trinket" feature or two that the Super Chief doesn't have, there is no other system, at any price, that has anywhere near the host of "substantial" features offered by the Super Chief.
