At the MR forums, I find more newbies than at other forums (proportionately). Nothing wrong with that, but I agree with the above, I see lots of statements that are really general, like - "I'm going to build a layout, what do I need to know?" - kind of statements. <br /> <br />For the newbies lurking and reading, when you do your first early questions, the more specific it is, the more likely you are to receive good advise. For example, lets say your new to the hobby and your think, "I don't even know what I don't know, how am I suppose to ask a specific question?" Well, start where you are at. So I would start a thread if I were you with this question - "I'm new to the hobby, what should I learn about first to get me started?" In answer to this question, many will direct you to John Armstrong's "Track Planning For Realistic Operations" (third edition). <br /> <br />The more specific your question, the more are likely to respond.
