<p> Hi Rob,</p><p>welcome to the crowd! You will find a lot of helpful people in this forum, with a lot of advice!</p><p>If you know you will be moving house pretty soon, you need to design a "portable" layout. Kalmbach has just published a book on shelf layouts which I can recommend. There are not that many track plans in there, but a good help for the construction basics of shelf layouts.</p><p>The most important step, however, is to find out, what you really want. What type of line or prototype you would like to model, what type of operation, what era etc.</p><p>Make a list of your givens and druthers to form a basis for discussion. Check this forum - there are many valuable recommendations in here, especially from guys like steinjr and SpaceMouse.</p><p> And, last but not least...</p><p> </p>
