As I'm planning on using a hollow core door for a base, any recommendations for a layout in a 30" by 78" space?
I'd like to have the ability to run multiple trains at once and would like to do something more elaborate than just a simple loop with turnouts.
I checked out 'Mike's Small Trackplan Page' (http://www.naisp.net/users/mfischer/m_train2.htm) and noted that the interesting layouts have grades, tunnels and bridges. Are layouts with these features too much for a beginner?
In addition, thanks for the feedback on Life Like trains. I've ordered a LL SD7 to start with, but after reading posts across your message board, my next loco just might be a Kato or Atlas.
