I just want to say welcome to the forum and you have found a place to talk about and get advise on building layouts to your likeing.
As I think most of us that use this forum regularly most of us got started with building scale model railroads in our basements spare rooms and backyards as kids, some of us work in the reallife on major railroads around the world. As you have seen and will learn that you can build major layouts without the major financial output as you would with a real scale model.
One thing that this allows you to do is create a layout within the program then transfer them to actual scale layouts quickly and without the stress of building it in real life just to find out you do not like the way that it is running.
I look forward to helping you with the program and I look forward to seeing your layouts.
Once again welcome to RTR and the forum.
Happy Railroading
