Hey, <br />I was 13 and I was so excitted by what Atlas had for track plans. But do you want to run a train around or switch cars? I liked the building process at 13 'cause I was running trains around in circles since I was 8. So building was on my list. You get a lot of hints in 9- railroads you can build by Atlas. Since i was a beginner it was the best. You have to remember that "rome wasn't built in one day" so take your time and get someone to give you a hand. Its fun and I'm 44 now and 2 boys of my own 14 & 17 and we are starting one layout of our own. I got a 4 x 8 premade layout that we will fix up. I have no inside room but I have to tarp it outside. But I'll make a pull away roof suggested by my wife. I hope this helps. <br />Jim
