Lots of good suggestions; mine is that you be more specific in your request for help. Draw up a rough plan of what you want and what space you have. The space for most of us is the limiting part, next to a wallet we wish were fatter. So ask your questions on the net in sequence of what you are working on. <br /> <br />Lets say you decide to go the book route as suggested above, you might post the following question: <br /> <br />"I'm in HO scale and am looking at a couple of books that can really get me started in the hobby and help plan my layout." <br /> <br />And my and many other's answer to this question would be to purchase John Armstrong's Track Planning for Realistic Operations - Third Edition. <br /> <br />Or you could say: <br /> <br />"I have a space that is 10 by 6, does anyone have a good idea of how to use this space or are there some plans on the net I could access for a space this big." <br /> <br />I would reply that if you can try and find some track planning books from England as they have space problems over there (not enough of it) and have better track plans for small spaces than you find in your average North American LHS. <br /> <br />So tighten up your questions to the forum and we can be more helpful.
