Hi Sabafuad, and [#welcome] The best way to learn about track laying is to get out there and do it, there are a few ways and I think everyone gets there by trial and error. It all depends on what sort of ground you have, rocky, well drained, swampy. How are you? can you get down to ground level or do you want it 2' off the ground. Do you want the RR to be instantly noticeable or to blend with the garden. Lots of variables and only you has the answer. A few of us here float our track in a bed of gravel, dig down a few inches, infill with gravel and level off with a finer gravel for the ballast. Some set blocks into the ground and fix the track before ballasting. My control is very easy, Aristo Train Engineer drives one loco but has the capability to control many, a few of the guys use LGB digital and a lot use on board batteries, again you will settle on your own way. Track cleaning is a great decider in the battery/track power debate, a lot of track takes a long time to clean. Scenery? let your garden be itself. Buildings are another personal choice, I have a few bird houses from the local supermarket at less than £3 each, a lot build very detailed buildings. The best advice I can give is to get out there and put some track down, Aristo is good, 8' diameter minimum for todays big loco's and run a train, plenty of starter sets from USA/Aristo/LGB etc. Most of all, enjoy!!
