I can offer advice, free of charge, on

  • Best possible track plan for your train room
  • Prototypical track design
  • Broad curves vs. sharp curves
  • Enough space to move arround
  • Everything within the reach of your hand
  • Right-of-way, roadbed, grades, bridges, topography, etc.
  • Layout and backdrop altutude for realistic perspective
  • Most suitable rolling stock for your layout.
    These are all commonly neglected factors in railroad modeling. This is why the advice might prove very useful, especially to beginners.
