Reply to "First train Table - Design Help"

All, thanks again!

So I've decided to dedicate the space and I want to make it challenging, have fun, and learn how to make the decorations, as well as use the better curves which I think is all of the advice combined.

Now being a newbie   where do I start?  I can get the basic table built where I use MDF 1/2, and then the pink foam, I have to find that, I'm assuming it's the 4x8 sheets, and that's about 1/2" if I remember right?  So once I get the bottom table built, where do I go next?  I like the idea of the bridge being part of the 2nd level.  I do like the last pic, but I think my son wants to see more of the train. He wants to get like a barrel kicker station and car.  So I think maybe a big tunnel at 1 end, like the one JHainer has on his table he posted previously, then it's how do I go from there, making the tunnel strong enough to hold the train, and also a 2nd level, where decorations, stations, whatever can be on both levels or do I really just worry about the 2nd level?  I also like the picture of the arch table that someone posted for JHainer.  My point is to do something he (and I ) won't outgrow or lose interest in quickly.  Moving it I'll give up on.  Now it's just how to make what will work well. 
I have to setup SCARM, my wife infested my laptop with spyware, so that won't happen for a couple days until I get the laptop redone.  But I'll take whatever suggestions. I'd love 3 levels, but is that to much to start with?
