You've got some good advice already. I would start with track planning books. Find out as much as you can before you start. I'm a Rock Island fan, and I grew up in Iowa, so I have an idea of what your expectations might be. Check out the Rock Island Technical society as well as other midwestern railroad historical societies, for some 1:1 information Atlas has some very good books aimed at beginners and intermediate builders. That 6 X 6 foot size seems a bit ackward to me also. It would also be helpful to know the statistics of the room this unit will be occupying. What else will it be shared with etc.?
