Old Newbie Seeking Layout/Stock Advice!
Hey All,
Ran AM. Flyer as a kid with the Plasticville buildings. A blast back in the day. Today's offerings blow me away. I'm torn between HO or N scale, but am leaning toward N to get a larger layout in the same space. Suggestions here?
I'd like to end up with a mountain/wilderness/river sort of layout and would like to know where I can get info on what engines and cars typically ran through those environments. I don't want to end up with a mix of odd rolling stock that was from different decades. Suggestions? I'm talking a freight train here.
Would love maybe a mountain rise on one end, tunnel, bridge. I'm sure everyone has seen this sort of look in the mags. Given my wild ideas, any hints as to a general size requirement to get all that in?
Hate to ask all the mundane newbie questions, but I like to do my research before the spending begins! Thanks much for any advice. Also, Will, you mentioned your website but I didn't see the URL!
