My tinplate layout is tubular track with 0-72 and 0-54 curves. It is 12 x 28 around the room which lets me put the many accessories near the edge for easy maintenance. The hi-rail layout I am building uses Gargraves track and Ross switches. It is two level. Scenery is more challenging. What do you expect your approach to be?
A friend of mine does not do a lot of planning. He has an idea about what he wants to do and then he lays out the track on the floor and keeps changing it until he likes the result. It works fine for him.
