Designing My HO-Scale Room Layout

[Justinmiller171]

Thanks guys, I have been thinking about what you said and my "dream layout" would have to be an Appalachian coal hauler, when I first got interested into realistic model railroading I picked up Tony Koester's book on operation and the picture of his layout in the book really got me interested in Appalachian coal mining railroads, I have been looking around this site:http://www.appalachianrailroadmodeling.com/index.html and in the track-plan section there are some small layouts that would easily fit into my room around the walls.

This plan in particular looks interesting:http://www.appalachianrailroadmodeling.com/tp_rend.html I would have to change it a little bit, but it looks fun and it fits into the theme of my dream layout.

An interurban would be just as good, The Sacramento Northern Railroad went into my hometown and has always interested me.

I guess I have some thinking to do.
