Re: You could build a model of your model
I second that suggestion. I use the 1/4" foam core board found in WalMart for about $2-3 a sheet. I use a scale of 1/4" = 1" as the foam board then scales out to the thickness 1x4 or 1x6 lumber that I use. Much cheaper than wasting lumber on a plan that won't pan out in the end.

Hi, You could build a model(s) of your model railroad. I did so and it helps to visualize what it may look like, based on my model I definitely changed where I was putting some track, buildings, and scenery:
