I have been in the hobby for a few years now and have had two HO scale 4x8 layouts. I am currently working on my "trainroom" for a 12x22 foot layout of the North East Corridor with Amtrak and Conrail. I am not too experienced and can use all the andive I can get. 1) Is DCC really worth how much it costs and is it a fun and easy way to control a layout? 2) How should I create me scenery, I have read about all types of methods like plaster and foam, which method is not too time consuming but results in very nice detail? 3) How can i run trains close to their prototypical lengths on a 12x 22 walk in layout? Are there any "under the table" tricks? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
