Perhaps the first question you should ask yourself when you are trying to figure out what model railway layout you would like to do is: “Where am I going to put it?”

There are a number of choices  You could put it outside in your yard or your garden.  What about in a spare bedroom, or a corner of the basement?  Or are you going to have it running along the ceiling?

Each of these options have some advantages and disadvantages.  Going along the ceiling will limit some of the things you can do while having the layout in a spare bedroom will allow great flexibility.  But maybe you  want it out where everyone can see it.  In that case, the celing area may be perfect.

And a garden model railroad layout might be even more ambitious, but would allow you to do some things that you couldn’t do in a house.

In any case, what do you want to do?

If you still have questions, take a look at Model Train Help, which gives you a lot of information to help you with these questions and much more.
