Hi, <br /> <br /> I'm an absolute newbie. I've done a bit of scale modelling and have decided to give trains a go, for the larger more continuous project that it could offer me. <br /> <br />I don't know jack about trains or model trains and am slowly learning. I've built a 1200 x 2400 mil (4 x 8 ft approx) base board. and have a very small 00 trainset. I was planning on using b]Atlas Layout HO-31 Waterlevel Western[/b]. This is an HO plan but I was planning to use 00 and go with a british Steam setting, imaginary place set before desiel become prominent. That's all I've narrowed it to. <br /> <br />I have a couple of questions: <br />will this plan work with 00? <br /> <br />2. If anyone is familiar with this layout, were would be a good place to put the stations (I was thinking 2), There's a turntable; so somewhere near the turntable, and on a 'side' so I can divert the train to the station and then isolate it. so I could run two. <br /> <br />If anyone is familiar with this plan, or has any general Advice on simple 'scenerios' I could work on a layout of this size I'd be grateful. <br />Thanks in advance <br />
