In aswer to <br />1. You can buy programs to help you design a layout to you needs. You can also download free trials like Railcad, Atlas makes a free simple one. <br /> <br />2. If you use foam. Put down a layer of 1/4" plywood the glue down as much foam as you want. <br /> <br />3. For DCC I really can't help to much (I don't have the funds) I looked into DCC and $1050 was to much. But more on subject. For a controller: Lenz should be good. I was advised not to buy the cheap MRC (can't remeber why) as for engines:Atlas, Kato,Athearn Genesis, Broadway Limited, Proto 2000, <br /> <br />4. Model Ralroader, look around the MR online bookstore they have all off the different books you'll need. <br /> <br />Hope this help
