<p>Welcome to the wonderful world of narrow gauge model railroading!</p> <p>As you are not new to the hobby, you know you have already decided on a few important things - the prototype (D&RGW), the era (1940/1950s) and the setting (Colorado/New Mexico). That´s already a big step done! The next item on the list would be to determiune what type of operation you´d like to have - continuous running or point to point operation? How much space can you allocate to your layout and what type of layout would you like to have? Around the wall, shelf-type or island type? You say you don´t have much space, but that leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Not much space for means not more than 3 by 5 ft but your figure will vary most likely.</p> <p>When you have decided all of that, look for a track system. There are not many around. It´s either Shinohara, ME or Peco. Blackstone´s own track system never really got off the ground and still has no switches available, making it more or less useless for building a layout with it.</p> <p>That´s all for the moment from me - keep coming back with your questions!</p> <p>Here is a little inspiration for you!</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eupa2AgJ-qo" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p>and</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jjX1J6Fk8GM" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p>Enjoy!</p>
