Thanks Jetrock, not a bad idea of port and harbour together no idea why I did not think of that, probably for the reason you stated moutain to port is good for only wood and mine stuff where as town to harbour could have a lot more. Suppose a little town in the mountain near the mine could be...

Ok thanks, please do not read to much into my layout the idea is what I want by the size of the areas is not correct, just an idea, if my area is to small then I will no doubt change from town, mountain and port to just mountain and port and see how that goes. I have never used a CAD program...

Thanks Herc, looks great, I hope mine turns out just as good. Just starting it, still reading through the forums getting ideas and know how. Something that I thought as a simple click together track systems seems to be total opposite, what a newbie right. Thanks for the encouragement...

Ok, I'm going to proceed and build the table to the maximum size as already shown. www.jolley.ch/Railroad/rail_base_plan_update.pdf So my first questions are regarding the base products, some articles on the internet say you need to be careful of the base products mean the wood you use to...

Thanks Jetrock, Well as mentioned this would be my aim for end product, I am not one to sit and watch something but to interact, that means for me to set up a basic layout at the start and then as the train is running continue to work on other parts. The dock idea came to me from view...

I have found a good e-book at the UK forum which Russ Bellinis gave me thanks The more I look at HO the more I like it. So how much space would one need for a HO set, with a small town and mountain side? Question on the Brand, over here Merkin is the most popular, and the have a new Digital...

Thanks for the replys. Well as I mentioned I have a starting area of a bit less than 2m * 1.5m this is one small wall which I thought I would start on, the wall next to that is about 3m long with again about 1.5 (I limit myself to 1.5 not due to space but so that I can still reach the back...

Hi All, Well I'm new at the model railway, did a lot of models when I was in my teens but not since then and I am not looking for a hobby which I can build things myself. As I have been interested in trains in general I thought I would like to give it a go, start slow and if I enjoy it...
