Most public libraries have decades worth of books on track planning, mostly from Kalmbach but some of the old Carstens (Railroad Model Craftsman) publications, as well. The vast majority of layouts are small. <br /> <br />One suggestion to anyone contemplating a 4 X 8 layout : you can get a lot more scenery and have much smoother operation if you expand to 5 X 8 or 6 X 8. I have found that most spaces that will hold a 4 X 8 will accomodate a slightly larger layout and it is well worth the effort. <br /> <br />John
