Here's my [2c] Read all the forum postings you can. I've been surprised at how many topics that I felt wouldn't pertain to me, actually do. Don't be afraid to ask questions, let me horribly paraphrase a great philosopher, "The man who knows what he doesn't know, is the smarter man" There's no stupid questions. Learn about the Real railroads to. You'll find a lot of real neat things to model if you study them. Don't be afraid to rip stuff up and redo it. Espacially when you start. There's nothing worse then having a great layout but has poorly laid track in one section that ruins the whole thing. Visit trains shows and hobby shops and ask questions there. i just started working at my local hobby shop and myself and the other workers will give you the best advice we can. most hobby shops are like this. Another good book is "track plans for realistic operation" By the late John Armstrong. It has many great chapters on almost every facit of MRR. The most important advice I can give though is just to have fun while doing it. <br />Andrew
