I am now 43, and in the midst of building an N-scale layout in my 10 x 12 ft bedroom !! I had to go with N-scale because I simply didn't have room for the HO radius turns I would need. I've been working on it for the last year and have learned one very important thing... plan, Plan, and PLAN some more !! My layout is a dual-mainline loop around the walls depicting parts of the CALTRAIN and ACE passenger routes here in Northern California... I have also included 4 spurs for local industries and a large yard representing Stockton-yard. Interesting... I got started in RRing again after doing a "Hogwarts Express" layout for a friends Candy & Gift Shop during Xmas of 2005 !! Good luck !! There are a number of pretty good Yahoo! Groups on the Model Train topic !! I started in HO scale when I was about 12… sadly my Dad sold the layout when I was in the Navy.
