If it is 3x6, I would definitely consider N-gauge. I picked up a used set that was on a hollow core door and redid the track plan, using something out of Model Railroader' s (MR's) 101 Track Plans. Most modelers like to cram too much track and buildings into too small a space and that is NOT prototypical. At least with N-gauge it won't look as cramped if you do it right... If you want cheap, consider using foam as a base. The Scenic Ridge layout uses foam but you can get used styrofoam and glue it together using a glue for foam. Then you shave it using surfoam tools. MR had an article on it a while ago and it's probably in their scenery book. The hobby store can get you the cement and paints compatible with it as well... Good luck!
