big warm hello to you all.
im just starting to build my first layout for me and my son (5yrs old) so far i have built the baseboard in the loft and it mesures 11ft long x 6 ft wide. im running 00 gauge and got about £1000 worth of track and train units.

i am finding it very very hard to decide on a layout

and how to basically build a nice layout so any help on websites showing layout designs would be most appreciated and i can then get to work and keep my son happy

speak to you soon

hi there ceedeeI
the size of my base board is 11ft by 6 ft square
thanks for the info on the book and thanks also to doug for his help.
this evening i had my son for a few hours after school (im divorced from his mum

) i am now re married by the way

and shes a lot better

)

and we went itno the loft and he played with some really old rust track making a small layout (a circle) for him self and i got to work on my new project for him ( and me

)
if i can i will take some pics of it and try if it is allowed on here to send them to you to see what you think or if you think there are any changes i might need to make. i think my most worrying issue is points and if i put electic in the layout for the points

thanks again

regards
