Beginning questions on Layout for max 178cm x 67cm

hi,
i'm really a beginner coming from hong kong and want to build a scene at a place with at most 178cm x 67cm. since the size is quite small, i think N scale will be deployed as i want to have others buildings an constructions besides the train system.
1. any similar layout i can refer to as i see the sample layouts are quite large in size?
2. is there any software helping me draw and test the layout?
thanks a lot!

Hi. You're in luck. This thread initiated by our Swedish expert, electrolove, came just in time for you.

Otherwise, look for the freeware version of XTrkCad

XTrkCad is at

. Be sure to take the time to go through the demo. Even after I did that it took a few days of using it to get proficient. But, for free, I'm not complaining. [8D]
For small layouts you might search the forum for "dioramas".
And oh yeah. Have fun.
Tom
