Read up and make descisions about what you want. Do you want steam or diesel trains. What scale? I like switching, but I always keep at least 2 loops open to just run trains around. Depending on what you want to run, you may need to design differently. For example: In general steam engines need a larger turn than diesels. Also passenger cars need a larger turn than smaller freight cars. And dont get ahead of yourself. Dont go out and buy a train set, because train sets are junk. It will cost a little more to buy better components seperately, but you will be much happier. Come and post again when you have a basic idea of what you want and how you might go about doing it.
