I'm definitely planning before I start the actual layout.  I've just purchased the lumber, blue foam and playwood to make the benchwork.The reason I did that was to just lay the track on something and see it take up the space so i can try to brainstorm what i want out of the layout.  There are several things I want to do including:- The layout will be built on the same level and not elevate at all to make it simple.  I'll then cut into the foam and attempt to put a bridge of some sort there to give the illusion of elevation.  If that doesn't make sense sorry!  It was confusing to type and explain- I will do a small hill of some sort somewhere to experiment but I'm not sure where yet.- Since I don't want to spend $1000 on buildings I'll make it a small town of some sort since a city landscape sounds like it gets pricey quick.That's it so far.  I'm hoping the rest will come to me once I get the track on there and can see it in front of me and know the exact space I have to work with.
