Pick up a few model railroad magizines or stop by any local hobby shop that carries trains and they will or should have a few books to get ideas from, probably the best thing to do is either get a 4' x 8 ' sheet of plywood and start laying track, you wont know where you want to go till you get started. I have a 36" x 75" Marklin German display layout I am building to take to shows. It is fully digitaly controled, and could even be linked to a home computer! I would recommend you pick up at least one good steam loco, the kids at the shows like to watch them run more than the diesels as the side rods are exciting to them. Look at Athearn Genesis, Bachman Spectrum, or Trix for good running steam locomotives. You can make this hobby as cheap or expensive as you want to. I used an interior hollow core or foam core door as a light weight table top, you can use the blue insulation foam for building up mountains ect. Have fun. Mike
