[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by SpaceMouse If your layout is against the wall, you can only reach about 30" so you are limited to that pretty much. I would serioulsy consider going with N scale as you will get about 4 times as much layout in the same space as HO. [/quote] Very well aware of the reach limitation, but thanks for the reminder :) [quote]QUOTE: Get some good beginners books and start reading. You can probably get them a the library. [/quote] We've already cleaned the library out and we're reading everything we can find online as well. I've managed to make it through to threads with a last post date of the beginning of March in these forums already. Definately learning lots :) [quote]QUOTE: Don't buy anything until you start your education. Then come back here and ask questions. It's easy to buy something that is, well, junk. [/quote] I completely understand this one... especially for product review/recomendation. [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by selector And ditch the cat. It will be as interested in your layout as you are, especially when it needs a new venue to groom itself or to sleep. (This may sound snotty, but I have followed several hilarious threads about what cats have managed to accomplish on their servants' layouts. Be warned.) [/quote] Not snotty to me, just helpful advice. Fortunately, I'm pretty sure that the most damage that this particular cat will be able to inflict is dander and cat hair. He's quite ancient, nearly blind, and can barely make it onto the seat of a chair/soft and failed miserably the last time I saw him try to make it directly onto the back of the sofa (which, in a sick sort of way, was actually rather funny. He has also made it quite clear that the *only* place he is interested in sleeping is on our bed (along with the step to get him up there!).
