[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by fiatfan</i> <br /><br />Hi, Mrgoozy <br /> <br />First off, [#welcome] to the hobby and the forum. <br /> <br />About the porch, you didn't indicate what area of the country but from the comment about working outside 8 months of the year, it sounds like using the porch shouldn't cause too many problems. <br /> <br />About the choice of scale you may want to take into consideration your age. Some of us have been know to switch from N to HO because of the difficultiies in working with those invisible details. [:o)] <br /> <br />One of the books you may want to consider is John Armstorng's <i>Track Planning for Realistic Operation</i>. This will give you some idea as to what you can put in the space you have available. <br /> <br />Here is a link to some some good inforamtion that you may want to file away for future reference. <br /> <br />http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=36405 <br /> <br />Again, [#welcome] <br /> <br />Tom <br />[/quote] <br />funny i have a book buy him i got 20 some odd years ago. i guess i should have said i did some of this back then but not really long enough to say i have exsperiance. <br />the book is custom line king size plan book, its in HO scale and has 6 detailed plains one of which i did get running 20 years ago lol. i think it was the water level western and i had a ton of fun making it. <br />i still have all the stuff from back then too but i imagin its pritty useless seeing as its been carted around and ploped in damp moldy basements for 20 years lol.
