Jarrell, Train guys never need "excuses" to buy kits. Go buy em' (because you can). You should have at least a couple of boxes full of cool kits that you NEED by now (I have six, think of it as steady employment........wait I already have a full time job). Get out there and do your part !!! Now is not the time to hesitate. About the track or the buildings question. Don't go by what the modeling books say...Go look at the real thing. You don't want to limit your layout to what is available in kits or even to those dimensions (you can always change stuff around). Look at some photos of cool saw mills (google em' if nothing else) and see how the prototype did stuff. This might make some decisions for you, besides it will give you somethoing else to do while the glue dries. While some might regard this approach as one of those over the top "prototype" things, the problems that you are having deciding what to do with your plan are precisely why people take this approach. If you find some cool protoype scenes, you can then adapt them to your plan and have the bonus of having stuff look more realistic because it is based off of something that actually existed....For sawmills there are lots of logging railroad books..... BTW: I must say that you have injected a great sense of humor into this forum.....You could still have a career in front of you as a comedian with those facial expressions....The "are we having fun" photo is a classic....
