I'm some what new to model railroading.  I had a small layout when I was a teenager but drifted away from the hobby.  I got re-invigorated in 2016 by creating a Christmas themed layout using Department 56 Dickens Village houses.  This layout was just a small 4' X 8' layout.

My plan is to develop a much grander four season layout.  The layout will have four theme's zones based on the season's of the year.  Each themed area will be connected together by the central train yard.
