you should look at the big picture here? yeh 3x6 is small and it probably wont be your final lay out but it will give you an oportunity to sharpen your skills. you may want to consider building sectional pieces that can be stored for later assembly . when more room becomes avaliable. I would suggest looking into alot of railroad sites. to gather ideas. considering your cost as was my sitiuation at first. i decided to scratch build alot of my buildings. some of the materials i used are every day stuff. i use alot of styrefoam from food or meat trays i have built buildings with it. its easy to scibe into to create diferent techstures such as small bricks, large bricks, woodfinish, etc. they can be glued easly with a glue gun . styrephone blocks can also be used to create mountains when caved and heated i also built a tressel using long match sticks bought from the dollar store $1.50 a pack they all have suprizingly realistic results. the key here is patients and trial and error. look to see what materials are readily avalible to you and go wild and have fun.
