Greetings to everyone!! Proud to be apart of this forum.
I just got into model railroading a few weeks ago and been doing tons of research. I bought some magazines, books, and did a lot of reading online. I'm very excited about starting my new layout. I'm lucky I have a pretty good hobby shop right down the street, so I know I will be taking many trips there in the near future. But first I have to plan it all out.
I talked my girlfirend into letting me start a 4x8 layout in our spare bedroom. which is not all that big.
So right now I am at the staging process to get it ready before the benchwork.
I have had this layout in my head for a while now but i'm sure it could use a bit more tweaking before its finalized.
The only thing I'm not sure about is the road where the residential area would be. Not sure If I should have the road in between the houses and the track or the houses in between the road and the track. Or just not have a road there all togather.
I'm trying to utilize as much space since you are very limited with a 4x8 area.
Any feedback would be much apreciated.
Thanks!!
