I'd suggest you pick up one or more of the Kalmbach books on layout building. It doesn't matter what scale - the techniques are the same. S-scale includes three fundamental groups: those who model close to scale, with realistic track, buildings and rolling stock; those who prefer American Flyer track and rolling stock, and Plasticville structures; and those who strike a balance between the two. One important difference is that the scale trains run on direct current while the AF trains run on AC.

OK, i briefly had a train when i was a chikld- my dad put it all together but we didn't have it very long. I've started to acquire stuff to build an S-Scale layout [i have done terrain building in non-RR settings]. What i'd like to know is what do i need? OK, tracks, a train - yes i know, but what else? I have some used trains to start with, some new track from American Models, plus i've been finding some plasticville buildings and signs, i have some 1:64 vehicles and people. Now, what do i do? thanks Larry [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
