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.
