    Order of building a layout?

    I think I read this one a thread here but couldn't find it. It was talking about order from thinking to having finished a layout (or as finished as you can get. LOL) Can anyone point me to the right post or have your own suggestion? Thanks, Stan

    Paint or lay track??

    Just finished the rough outline for the layout. I'm using plywood, HO and EZ Track. Should I paint the plywood (brown/green for appropriate areas) then lay the track or vice versa? I know that it would be a lot easier without the track, which seems to me the way to go. I've also read that...

    How small/big for DCC?

    I'm almost ready to set up my set using WS River Pass. I may modify it a little bit. Should I start with DCC even though it's going to have at most 2 trains? Is there a "rule" that one decides DCC over DC? Thanks, Stan

    Blue/Pink and white polystyrene?

    Again, another newbie question: I have been to a couple of Home Depots here in CA and I did not find any of the blue/pink stuff. All they had was white. Is this the same material? I remember reading somewhere that in CA they don't carry the blue/pink. Anyone know about this? Thanks, Stan
