I remember at 8 when i first got my set, had a nice 12x12 my Father put together, now im 22, and looking into getting started. I pulled out racks of old trains, over 50 in all, so i can review and test them on a basic oval shape layout, soon hopefully I can grab a track kid this weekend so i can begin thinking of a design i want. Basically im going to start fresh on a 4x8 till i get use to modeling, hopefully i plan to finish a whopping 18+ by 18+ room. For a guy who hasnt crashed trains since i was 8, this should be a quite interesting hobby. Especially being in college, i have 2 years to put together this :) Basically, i need everyones input. First i need a Book / magazine that gives out Intermediate track layouts, nothing fancy dancy, just a 4x8 set up. Any good books you know of? post them here, i plan to buy monday. Secondly, i need a book on repair kits. I have a few busted up old trains, with no freight trucks *am i right?* and couplers. I have noticed they are different so bleh, i have to figure out what goes with what.
