Model railroad layout design is a miniature replica that contains scale track for operating trains. The sizes of this layout differs, from small designs that fits a shelf top to ones that fill an entire room, basement or even whole buildings. Paying attention to modeling details like structures and scenery for example is common.

Small and simple layouts are usually placed over a table, although other means are utilized including doors. There are also more permanent construction methods that involve placing bench work framing to the wall of the room or building in which the layout is located.
The layout of the track itself is an important aspect of any model railway. There are four basic methods of arranging the track such as the continuous loop which is a circle or oval with trains going round and round; point to point, a line with a station at every end with trains going from one station to another; out and back is a pear shaped track, with trains leaving the station then going round a reversing loop and coming back to the same station; shunting is either a station, a motive power depot or a yard.
A lot of people seem to consider model train kits just for children, but then adults can also enjoy them as well. Kits that are available for purchase include model railroad layout design, collection of trains that also include vintage trains to more modern train versions.
There are model railroad layouts design that you can purchase, however some people find the do it yourself method much more enjoyable to construct. In doing this DIY train layouts, you can use materials that you consider useless or are going to throw out anyway. For model roads cardboards strips can be glued and painted. Mud can be shaped and molded into different objects such as humans, animals, buildings, tunnels and many others. Make sure to include rocks and mountains because they can make your layout more realistic and stand out.

lionel fasttrack layouts?
I'm wanting to set up a large train layout...mostly mountains, some towns. i've failed at ho and n gauge because I always have problems laying the track. I'm thinking about going to lionel and the fasttrack option. any opinions on using fasttrack? can anyone recommend a book with lots of layouts that will tell me what track needs purchased, ect?
the train is secondary to the scene. i guess i'm looking for computer software specific to lionel fastrack
First question is this, where's the fire? you can't rush putting track down in ANY scale.
My suggestion is to find a local chapter or club that does model railroading. Get someone to show you what your doing wrong. Maybe help them on their layout to get the feel for how it is done correctly.
I have a friend that has a layout that takes the WHOLE basement of his house, except for the water heater and furnace. He had a stroke and he STILL put in his own track. If he can do it there is not any reason you can't.
