Welcome Tom. You will probably enjoy the creations of master creator and fellow garden railroader, Chris Walas (he won an Oscar for his creation in the movie, The Fly).
He has many of his creations and techniques on his web page - http://4largescale.com/chris/. There is a menu bar in the top left corner.

Also Yogi Wallace techniques page may come in handy - http://users.stratuswave.net/~wd8jik/

First welcome, since it seems you have so free time, have you thought about working on your rolling stock? Evrey railroad need's it's own . I am finealy doing mine since I ran out of track and Train money. I have almost everything I need track ( as in space ) wise. only 40 foot or so short on the last siding.
