There are also a number of "start to finish" books by Kalmbach that (roughly) follow a layout building from beginning to end. They are often lighter in the details, and might include some things that you aren't interested in (such as diesel service areas, if you are all steam). To add to FRED;'s recommendation... In order to keep things really cheap (sorry, inexpensive...) you might try looking for back issues of Model Railroader. My local train shop has them for 50 cents each. Model Railroader has for the past few years run a "build this layout" series from January to April. Reading a few of those series is a good place to start. Andrew
