Why not come to our meeting?? There are guys there who would be considered as top tier model railroaders all involved in three-rail O Gauge.
You need to decide some fundamentals then turn one of them loose.
Or, I would think that the outlet selling you the track and other stuff could do the track layout for you. I had the track layout designed by the hobby shop selling me the track, a transformer, and some engines.
I used Matt Hewitt who runs Benchridge Benchworks to build custom tables to fit the track layout, He was reasonable, AND he builds the tables, and delivers and sets them up. He came to my home, 3-1/2 hrs. later- he left and I was ready to set up track. I recommend him, and you can come and see his tables and my layout, any time.
You can see HIS HO layout:
