I would generally agree with all the stuff above, including READ READ READ, to which I would add PLAN PLAN, and then BUILD - in those proportions...! I would also second (or third) the modular suggestion. I have a 4x8 sheet of plywood in my basement. Once I put any scenery on it higher than about 3", I will not be able to get it out again. One other suggestion I have is if you like the HO equipment, but have limited space, you might want to try narrow gauge - especially if during the READ READ READ phase you discover that you might like turn of the (20th) century logging or mining instead of WC or BN. The advantage of narrow guage is that you can usually fit a larger scale (HO) into the space of a smaller one (N) because the narrow gauge HO equipment runs on N scale track. Good luck! Andrew
