    Some help creating my layout

    The roudhouse is for storing trains (and maybe train cars) and is not meant to be part of these routes. I arranged the tracks so that so that no matter which way the train comes out of roundhouse it will be able to go directly onto the main tracks. Although I could accoplish this by having just...

    My layout update I've had this layout done on paper for weeks but it was just too annoying to digitize it the way I wanted it so I just remade it on my Paint program. It looks a bit big but it'll definatly cover less space if I make it. Anyways here it is: Any comments or suggestions?

    Dimensions: 2.5 feet wide (enough to fit through a doorway) and about 4-5 feet long. Again I'm still planning this out so I don't know if I'll have it set permenently on a table I make or have it be able to be taken apart and moved. But the dimensions I gave are about what I can have for now...

    I'm thinking about buying either N scale or Z scale trains

    Now this will be my first and probably only train set of model trains. I need a little help deciding what to get and good website links. I'm not rich so I'll probably start out small and work up over time buying things that I like. What I'd like to work up to is a set for a cargo train that...
