Hi db ice 3 and welcome,
Although I still consider myself to be a 'newbie' as far as contributions go, the people here are very helpfull and enthusiastic, I'm sure you'll find it a very happy place to discuss your project.
I guess when you say "figure of 8" you mean something along the lines (sorry, pun intentional

) of Tetleys Mills, the original version having a lower level through station, with a higher level double track line (although it might be a fun idea to reverse this just for variety) set in a very realistic urban grime environment - classic!
I'm sure there are plenty of prototypes for your station, but I'm - inevitably - going to suggest somethingalong the (stop it now s-d b, it ain't clever!) like a shortened form of Snow Hill when the main platforms were changed to island platforms, two through lines down the centre.
Good luck, and keep us updated.
Regards.

heres some pics of progress so far!. i cant get settled on a track design yet so am playing around with my tracks, laying them out in different ways to see whats going to fit on my boards. basically 2 long running tracks for hi speed and intercity trains like the ice1,2,3 and t are what ill be running i want some hidden tracks/sidings so that 1 train may go into one of the tunnels thats going to be at each end of the layout but a different train will emerge, creating a surprise element. i will also have about 3 quite long goods trains with all the different wagons and colours yoou see on the german railways to add some variation to the passenger trains. the layout will be in a winter snowy setting. any ideas or thoughts will be appreciated!.

Hi again,
That's some serious looking furniture, wish I had that kind of location for mine

, as it is although my layout will be sectional that's purely for fitting it in with existing space requirements at home.
If you haven't any drawn-up plans yet then certainly take your time in getting your trackwork 'placed' in a way that looks good to you, and make sure it will allow the kind of operational pattern you're looking for.
Great to see the photo's, keep 'em coming.

Hi db ice 3,
Had to be Ikea

, could have earned more 'brownie-points' with that spot, stylish and practical underpinning for the layout (no, don't work for 'em

).
No knowledge of dcc at all I'm afraid, a post in the DCC Forum is bound to be rewarded.
Keep up the good work.
