Wow! Thanks for all the great tips and your help with useful links. <br /> I am based in Queensland, Australia (hence my moniker of Bilby - look it up!) - where we have mostly electric suburban trains, too, as well as tram car systems in several cities like Sydney and Melbourne for example. <br />My upcoming 8m x 11m layout is not based on any particular prototype as I like too many different locos and rolling stock from many countries! <br />My friends in the clubs I belong to, model various prototypes in Australia, Europe and the USA. Many of them also model UK outlines which are in OO scale. <br />To "justify" running their rolling stock when they come to visit, I am designing the layout to be set in the 21st Century in an undetermined English speaking country during <b>International Transport Week </b>- so anything is welcome! <br />There will be a large city terminus station, a city tramway system (to justify my love for tramcars), a dockside scene with a container depot and loads of opportunities for shunting, a monorail system based on the popular one which goes around Sydney City Centre, rugged rural scenery and even a logging track high up in the hills - I love my little Bachmann Shay . . . <br />There will be a few other areas of interactive movement, too. My intention is to keep people's interest going with plenty of activities and lots of opportunity for different modelling skills. <br />I don't have the patience to model a strict prototype - although I have the greatest admiration for those who do. I just want to have FUN! - so Rivet Counters Beware! <br />The whole thing will be DCC powered, including the tramway system - lots of fun for many years to come! <br />Thank you all once again for your most welcome help. <br /><b>This really is The World's Greatest Hobby! </b> <br />[:D]
