Around-the-walls layouts are great. they give you lots of linear space without using floorspace in the room. BUT! before you build anything you need a detailed plan. Otherwise you will end up redoing a lot. You dont need to plan scenery yet, but you need a layout size, how you will construct it, and most importantly, a well thought out track plan. All of us on the forum are happy to help with planning and construction ideas so dont hesitate to ask. To plan my around-the-walls layout i used a free track planning program called xtrkcad. You can download it here: <br />http://www.sillub.com/ <br /> <br />Decide how long a mainline you want, how much switching, and how many trains you want to run at once. Then post your preliminary plan here along with your goals and get advice on how to make it better. But the most important thing of all is to have fun! <br /> <br />[#welcome]
