Bryan, <br />When you first start out it is all so intimidating, so many skills required that you may not have and so many decisions to be made. <br /> <br />My first recommendation is to suggest you be more specific in your questions. For example, you don't say what scale you are in, or are you just starting and want a recommendation on scale? You don't say what space you have, so it is difficult to recommend a track plan for you. <br /> <br />So why not start over and say something like this (of course modified to your situtation): <br /> <br />"Hi I'm Bryan. I'm modelling in HO and I think I'm going to be doing a 4 by 8 layout. Does anyone know of any good sites that have some good 4 by 8 plans?" <br /> <br />Then after you decide on the track plan, you might say: "Hi remember me, I'm Bryan and I have decided on a track plan for a 4 by 8 HO layout, is there a good place on the web where I can go to see what kind of a table I should build for my 4 by 8?" <br /> <br />Then latter: "hi I'm Byran, I have my benchwork up for my 4 by 8 HO layout, what is a good track to use?" <br /> <br />Then latter: "I have decided on Atlas flex track and Atlas turnouts for my layout. How do I lay flextrack? Any recommendations on road bed?" <br /> <br />Have your questions reflect where you are in the planning and building phase of your layout. <br /> <br />Good luck, have fun, you'll learn lots![:D]
