I find it easiest to base my modeling off of my railfanning. Find rail yards, engine houses, major traffic rails and take lots of photos. You'll get a lot of ideas this way. Make sure to photograph the local scenary as well if you are looking to acurrately model a specific rail line. <br /> <br />If you really don't want to model a specific railway I suggest looking at magazines and videos and model the bits and pieces you are interested in. Best advice I ever got concerning model railroading was "It's my railroad I can do what I want." Have fun it with it and it will help youstay hooked.
