Do you live where there might be some other model railroaders nearby? The club I'm in has helped model railroaders both in the club and out of the club. In fact a bunch of the guys took off on a Saturday and went to Victorville from Orange County (probably 75-100 miles) to help a guy build a layout. No matter what sort of track you use, you will eventually have to have it soldered. If there is a model railroad club near you, you might find a couple of guys who can come by and help you with your layout.
