Welcome to trains, Tobbe.

Thanks.

If you haven't discovered it yet, Track Designer is a nice utility to help
plan layout designs.  You can find it at the Lego Train Depot at the
following link:  http://www.ngltc.org/train_depot/  Other good ways for
getting plan ideas are to review the train club layouts.  Granted, you'll
probably want to build something on a much smaller scale, but this is a good
way to get basic ideas of what general designs work well.

I've played around with the program some way back and will do so again
sometimes soon. I'm more eager to play with the bricks as-is :)

My advice would be to build the largest table that is useable in your room.
Of course you'll still want to be able to enter the room and walk around
some or all of your layout, but other than that I'd recommend planning for
future expansion instead of restricting your space too much from the beginning.

A good advise.

A small layout may fit on a 1 x 2.5 meter table; large ones can fill your
entire room.  Unused table space can always be used as a work area.

Hope this helps.

It does! Thanks!
