gkhazzard I want to take this opportunity to welcome you to the forum. I'm originally from Oskaloosa, and worked for a window company in Pella. I drove dirt track stock car in Oskaloosa and Eldon. I'm loosely modeling the Rock Island on a switching layout. Now that I live in Alaska, I understand your wanting to model the area of your roots. I wish you luck. One thing that will help is to obtain a collection of good railroad planning books. Get them for both HO and N scale. I only model N scale, but I've gathered a wealth of knowledge from all of the books that I have. Atlas has a very user friendly simple track planning download that would be very helpful to you. There are some other trackplanners such as 3rd Planit, which I also use, but they take more of a learning curve, and are more advanced, as well as more expensive.
