I am beginning a 4 x 8 layout of the Southern Railroad. I am a novice and would like some ideas about track laying. Is it necessary to lay your track over a roadbed or can you directly attach the track to the plywood? I plan to add balast. I am trying to get the most realistic effect. I plan to run the theme around a paper mill and a small rural town. would this be too much for a 4 x 8 layout? you opions most appreciated.
