Hi  Laying the track is your first job, once you have layed it out on the ground and you are happy with it. Then make it perimnant the buildings come next you put what pleases you on your lay out.look in the Piko catolouge for buildings or the Pola cat this should give you a good idea what is available Smile [:)]

Welcome!

For buildings and structures go to http://imagimonde.free.fr/

For some rolling stock go to http://apocopa.free.fr/Gullifer.htm

This is in Germany but closer than the US http://www.schmalspurversand.de/shop/en-us/front.html

'Chemin de Fer de la Guette'

Not modern, but this site has some really inspiring photos and technical bits http://www.sncfg.com/

This is far from my area of garden railways, but you might find it interesting to look at the websites I have given here.  Perhaps you know these already.
