Hi,

Sorry if this is this wrong place to post. I am new to this site and am looking for places to find ideas for my HO track.  I am very interested to design an industry based scenario for my track but can't locate any design ideas or what the first steps should be.  Track is done but now the hardest and most enjoyable part needs a beginning.

Thank you all for ideas, suggestions and leads.

That sections going to be just a hair tricky since I'm going to make it dual mode with DC pulse width modulation throttles. Need a place to test run DC stuff before I convert it, plus I also have a couple friends with DC stuff that'll be able to come over and run.
