I'm going to have to agree with the general consensus here. I'm also getting started on my first layout, which happens to be 3X7--almost the same as you--and guess what, even with 'N' scale I'm having a tough time finding enough room to balance interesting track with scenery. I couldn't imagine trying it with HO. As for keeping it cheap--go with foam as your base/scenery builder. RONA had some 1/2" foam for 3.49 and two sheets are going a long way for me. hope this helps a bit and good luck! JASON
