I started an HO layout in my basement about 1yr ago, however, after a few months, space became an issue. I packed it all up and put it away. Since then i've kind of been itching.

I've been thinking i might give N a try. What i was planning however was to do soemthing much smaller, that would be, say half the size of my computer desk, therefore approx. 3feet wide x 2foot deep.

Because i'm new at this, i'm not really sure if this is a realistic goal. I've searched the Internet but most of the layouts i've found are huge.

Can someone plz point me in the right direction!

Thx!

Tim I don't have an answer because I'm new too. I'm looking fowared to what the experts are saying because I'm in the same boat, plus I have to move every couple of years. I have found some good books online and in the hobby shops. I would go grab a few to get some ideas.

Good Luck

A little late , but in case you are still interested- let me suggest that you look at
the YAHOO group devoted to Small Layout Design.

It has many members, and because of the
expertise, and helpfullness of the members
hundreds of people seek solutions
involving (mostly) modestly sized to
miniature railroads.
There are other groups, such as the rail
marine group and urban modelers, that also
focus on cramped scenarios that
use little space. So Googleup "Yahoo Groups",
and perhaps come back here with whatever
help you derive there for the benefit of
this site.
Good-Luck, PJB
