<p>Greetings All!</p><p>I am a "Newbie" to model railroading. I have always been fasinated with the hobby, and have been collecting trains, buildings, track, etc. for many years with every intention of building a layout. I have finally found the time (and space) to build a layout. I don't have a "real" place in mind to model, so I will be freelancing. I have the material for the benchwork, which will be in a "T" shape with 12' x 4' against the basement wall and a 8' x 4' section to complete the "T". I would like to have a residential and an industrial section as well as a rural area with mountains(I enjoy the Adirondacks very much).</p><p>Any help would very much be appreciated. As I said, I am a newbie, and I don't quite understand alot of things, such as maximum radius and grades, just to mention a few. Also, if someone knows of a book or a website that explains such things in easy to understand language, please let me know. I get lost sometimes with the terms that I see in magazines and on line.</p>
