New Railroader Here

Hi all,

Relatively new railroader to the hobby. Always had a G Scale train running around the Christmas tree but have lately been selling off my collection to something more storage friendly (thought backyard railroad plans are a distant dream). For now, I'm starting up an On30 Scale railroad - the basic sets caught my attention in the hobby shop and the narrow gauge/Colorado railroads are a favorite so this is a good excuse to learn up on soldering, wiring, electronics, tracks, gauges, sculptamold and everything in between. Got a layout designed and have already begun construction on the first of three panels, 6.5ft. wide railroad. Hi all!

Welcome aboard. That looks like a good starter plan, with lots of continuous running and a few switching opportunities. Just be sure that you have access all of the way around it because you will not be able to reach the backside otherwise. Note that derailments will only occur inside tunnels or other inaccessible places.
