You've asked a very broad question. It is hard to say were to start, but MR published an inexpensive begineers guide that I have heard is quite good. I don't remember it's title, but the cover had a large amount of bright yellow. Of couse there is quite a bit of information here on trains.com. http://www.trains.com/Content/Dynamic/Articles/000/000/004/474duagg.asp

Woodland Scenics Scenery Manual will point you in the right direction. It mostly
focuses on their products, but it's full of tips and how-to's. Good luck, Dave

jrheavner [#welcome] to the hobby,
MR has a special issue called Model Trains, step by step. It comes with a DVD and is very informative. It applies to just about all scales. I hope this helps you a bit.
Happy MRRing.
