While certainly not a bad start, the design has a few issues, like the passing siding being a bit short any a rather "square" appearance from lining up the track with the benchwork sides.</p> <p>If you just want to play with trains and make a first venture into learning the skills necessary to build a layout, I´d say go for it! If you want more out of building your layout, I´d suggest to get some typical intro literature, like they are available from our host Kalmbach.</p>
