[quote user="ndbprr"]Eventually you will decide to model either a city that has trains from railroads you like stopping at their Union Station or a particular railroad.  Then you need to decide what you can model in the space you have available which is never enough and a scale to do what you want.  So my advice is to first start reading books and looking at pictures so you can develop what one of the late great model railroad planners John Armstrong called "givens and druthers".  Givens are the things that must absolutely be included at all costs and the druthers are the areas you will want to compromise.  Welcome to a great hobby.[/quote]Thank you for the advice.  I am working on that list of "givens and druthers" right now.
