what is smallest to largest scales

Of the common scales: Z<N<HO<O<S<GS has the widest turning radius (normally). HO and N are the cheapest to buy, and are most commonly used. HO is ~2x as large as N scale.

Hi...i'm a newbie...is this dcc and what's the difference between dcc and not dcc?

This is not DCC I think the difference is the sound and the way you can run more than one train on a track at a time with DCC.

I was wondering if you can get the regular track without the ez plastic balis built n it? Just plain track.

This set comes prepackaged with with E-Z Track. Plain track would have to be purchased separately. -Nicholas Smith Trains

Does it blow out smoke?

Good question. There are N Scale trains that have both sound and smoke, but they are very expensive. This lovomotive in this set does not have sound or smoke. However it does run vety nicely and can pull all the cars in the set without any problem.
