Hello, I have been looking at your website and it is very interesting. I am new to model railroading, and I am currently in the process of deciding which type of layout to start with. I have put some track down but keep changing my mind on the shape, also I am not sure which era to focus on. I am in England and although there are many stations on which to base mine, I do prefer the USA layouts and different stations, as they seem to be more interesting, to me anyhow. I really want to get moving along so I can start scratch building some different buildings, although I have tried a couple just for practice, and they have turned out a lot better than I thought, well I will go now, and start trying to decide on which layout to use, thank you,

regards,

Mark.

My space is 4′x6′6″. I’d like to be able to run one train
either clockwise or counterclockwise and be able to shift
from one way to the other. Scale is HO. I can use either or both– 15′R or 18″R. Any suggestions?

I started out with an oval, but quickly got bored with the train going round and round. I think I was 8 or 9 at the time. I changed it to a figure “8″ with a bridge, and that lasted me well into high school, and no boredom. Added switches and sidings later.
