Layout Plan

Bill would like to hear from anyone who can guide him with a layout plan:

A. I want to run N gauge – one passenger, one freight, and one switcher. Freight and switcher to start.
B. Initially one level with second level in future.
C. I have a fair amt of track (Atlas) switches (Atlas abt 7-8 l&R]
D. Space available – L shape 80″x36″, 36″x36″
E. What I’m looking for initially, I would like some of an idea OF A LAYOUT PLAN. I must start here in order to determine my costs. I’m 77 yo, retired on SS so I must work within a very tight budget. I’ve tried laying one out but get all messed up!

When you don’t know – go to the people who do know. CAN YOUR READERS HELP/GUIDE ME PLEASE.

    Bill, suggest you find anyrail.com and take a look at their site. They have layouts designed and built by anyrail users that they make available to all. I found one that I liked, modified it to fit my needs, and away we go. Have not finished it yet, but it plans out well and when I add structures, it should be awesome,
    Mine is also N scale. Anyrail is aeuropean version/answer to RTS or other USA versions of track software.
