I am going to begin building my new layout this weekend, and I was looking for some tips. this is not the large shelf layout I had planned, it is somthing simple to learn skills within the buget of a broke 12 year old. the basic trackplan is going to be a loop on a 3x5 1/2 table with one short spur to serve a grain elevator. the back of the loop will be concealed by a short backdrop for use as staging. the basic theme will be a branchline in western Oklahoma in the 50's , Rock Island of course ! the operating scheme will include a mixed train, a way freaight and two passenger trains. a GP7 will be used for frieght and mixed trains and a doodle bug with a light weight streamlined coach as a trailing car for when passenger traffic is heavy. does anone have suggestion how to mkae this plan better ? Thanks ! <br /> <br />Alex in the sooner state <br /> <br />P.S. I will post some pics when I get started. I need to post some pics of the train ride I took while on a youth choir mission trip.
