N Scale Layout Planned
It doesn’t sound like Tom has bought my Model Train Help ebook yet… and needs to.
However, in the meantime, perhaps someone would like to give him some suggestions:
Tom asks:
“I have my desiginated space for a layout established, but now where and/or how do I start. I have a list of things I want on my layout, but no idea how to get started. Help!!”
Add your suggestions below.

Tom,
Pick up couple issues of the various model railroading magazines to get some ideas of what you can do. Think about what period you’d like to model. Some like to model the post WW2 era since you can run both steam & diesel locomotives and still look realistic. Is there a railroad you want to copy because you like the way their equipment looks or it is nearby? What kinds of industries do you want to model? Coal? Lumber? Refineries? Passenger? Manufacturing? What type of setting, city or rural? Seashore, forests or mountains or all three?
It’s going to be your world so you can do anything you like with it. Just have fun.
Hope this helped,
Geof from the US
