After lots of internet searching, youtube watching and forums reading, I've decided my first layout is going to be the Woodland Scenics Scenic Ridge layout kit. I think this will give me a good amount of exposure to the hobby to see if I enjoy it.
I'll definitely be incorporating the Town and Factory Building Set that goes along with it. As for the track, I've elected to go with Kato Unitrack instead of Atlas track set that goes along with this. I found this track plan the other night that helped me figure out the track I needed.
In an exercise to familiarize myself with SCARM, I took that track plan and created it, with some modifications. I set it up this way just in case I want to include this as part of later layout plans that I have for my basement.
I ordered all of the track earlier this week and it will all arrive within the next week or so. I plan to buy the Scenic Ridge kit in October. The plan is to build the 3' x 6' table for it between now and then.
I looking forward to chronicling my journey in this thread and any advice you folks have for me.
Also, does anyone know how to connect to track ends in SCARM? If you look at my pic, the long straight just after the bridge is not connected to the curved track. I don't know what to do.
Cheers!
