Hi, <br /> <br />I'm a newbie on rail modeling and want to build my FIRST scene <br />- on a 178cm x 67cm place (very limited size) <br />- with one or two trains (depending on the feasiblity) <br />- a hill <br />- a small river/waterfall <br />- some buidlngs <br />- some lamps so that it can light when dark <br /> <br />my ideas: <br />- since the size is limited, i may have to use N scale <br />- it's first work that not have a good skills and don't know any suitable layout found. i found there's a product, Mod-U-Rail [http://www.woodlandscenics.com/nnb/Mod-U-Rail1.htm] that may help me build firstly. i think 2 straight one should give me the size i want <br /> <br />my questions: <br />- is there any similar layouts as i found most of the layouts are in 4 x 8 feet? can i just easily scale it down? <br />- is there any software helping me to draw and test the feasibity of my layout first before i try <br />- is there any module (hardware/software) that can operate the train by the computer. [future add-on/enhancement] <br /> <br />thanks a lot! <br /> <br />cheers! <br />
