I would suggest a micro layout. See this site
for some ideas.
Good luck

I plan, and research, plan some more, research some more, and build structures, and collect locomotives.
Modeling the Baltimore waterfront in HO scale
I am currently between layouts. It has been almost a year since I ripped apart the "Spare Bedroom" version of the STRATTON & GILLETTE railroad.
.
The house is going through a remodel that should be done in two years. The front "public" bathroom is the current project. Once that is done we move onto then kitchen, then the new master bedroom suite. Once Mary has her new bedroom and is happy, the old master bedroom becomes the layout room.
So... I have been months with no layout, and I am years from starting the next one.
I am building the freight car fleet. That is my main inter-layout project. I hope to have 150 freight cars ready when the layout construction begins. Of course, locomotives and cabooses are also in the works.
I built a cardboard layout a few months ago because I just had to build something. LINK TO LAYOUT THREAD: http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/88/t/262808.aspx
I am also having a pretty good time photographing my trains on a small diorama I have set up. Weekend Photo Fun and Show Me Something are a blast.
Still... the anticipation is killing me. I cannot wait to get going on the layout.
How do you cope?
