I have never had just a train layout, so whatever is fine.

I guess I could, I would need directions though.

I have about 50 straight track and one pair of points.
I just build 6 cars (3 passenger, 1 diner, 1 sleeper, and 1 baggage) to go
with my lego designed steam engine. They're not the most advanced design,
but go well together. That's all I have now built.
I would like to build some buildings for a downtown as well.
