I lay all my mainline track first, then a lot of the long sidings next. Then I start all my mountain & hill scenery. That's doing all of the foliage & rough tree's. Then I start building structures that I'm going to use in a certain area. Then I figure the space I need <br />for that building & then add the sidings w/magnets for uncoupling, switches & blocks. <br />Then I install the buildings temporarily. I figure where it's going to be & drill a hole under building for lighting. Then I fill in all around each building w/ground cover, roads, <br />fenceing, etc. Right now I'm working on 4 different area's of my layout for structures. <br />I never finish a layout. It's always in the building stage. My layout is 18 by 36 ft. You can walk all the way around the outside & the inside of all the tables. I still have a table that is 2ft. wide & 36 ft. long that is going to be my train yards. But, that's a few years down the road(rails). I kit bash a lot of my structures to fit the location. If I could put photo's on here it would be easy to show you. Send me your email & I'll email some pics.
