I've bought a couple of Atlas books on the basics and track plans. The internet has been a great help as well.[:D] I've thumbed through several of the Kalmbach books at the local hobby shops trying to get ideas on scenery, weathering, etc. And I'm attending a local model railroad club's meeting this Thursday evening for the first time, with intentions of joining. I have a lot of questions and I figure that would be the best way to get them answered. Reading books, etc., helps, but there's nothing like info straight from some veteran model railroaders. My biggest dilema right now is, after looking at so many track plans, which track plan to go with. I have an idea of what I want, and with the help of the track plan books, with some modifications, I have an idea of what it'll look like. It's still difficult, though, trying to decide exactly what I want! I've even lost some sleep thinking about it![xx(] Also, whether or not to go DC or DCC. Of all the stuff I've read about DCC, it still seems a little confusing. I should be getting the 4x8 sheets of plywood and the 4x8 foamboards this week for the benchwork, and then I'm finished with that stage. Then the real fun begins.[:D] Thanks for the info and guidance, and I'll keep everyone up to date on the progress of my layout.
