Welcome, Andy I started my layout with a plan in a book from Atlas I would see, which one looks best, and buy the book; it won't be the only one you buy. Mine had suggestions for scenery wiring diagrams, and a list of necessary track pieces and their cost. These might be helpful.https://secure.atlasrr.com/mod1/itemdesc.asp?CartId={22235EF6-72D5-405C-9EVERESTF2B-8235ED6F4644}&ic=0009&eq=0009BOOK&Tp= Or if you use true track: https://secure.atlasrr.com/mod1/itemdesc.asp?CartId={22235EF6-72D5-405C-9EVERESTF2B-8235ED6F4644}&ic=0015&eq=0015BOOK&Tp= Fantastic and King size layouts: https://secure.atlasrr.com/mod1/index.asp?CartId={22235EF6-72D5-405C-9EVERESTF2B-8235ED6F4644}&Code=BOOKS&Moveby=0&Nbm=0103%2D3&Pbm=12207K&Key=I&iFromFeatured=0 Hope these help I modified a track plan out of a book and I am very pleased with it.
