I would urge you to pick up Kalmbach's N Scale Primer as well as a couple other of their soft cover how to books.  If not available from Kalmbach, Ebay is usually loaded with them.

These books will last for years, and spending a few bucks on them now could save you a lot in the long run.  Trust me on that..........

ENJOY  !

Creating my first N scale layout
Posted by xploringrailroads on Sunday, January 17, 2021 5:22 PM

Hi everyone!

I am interested and ready to start  creating my first N scale layout. It will measure approximately 24 inches by 68 inches and the layout will be put against a wall.

I don't really know where to start because I am a complete beginner in the subject. What I know for sure is that I would like to create a layout from the 1950´s.

For now, I have plenty of time to allow on this project. 

I am waiting for your advice on where to start :)
