I am in the accumulation stage of buying 50’s and 60’s American Flyer for a 12’X8’ layout. I have no design skill whatsoever, so I need help in a layout design. Any help would be appreciated in a design that would incorporate the following American Flyer and Plasticville. I will be using American Models track, Homabed roadbed, and Woodland Scenics for scenery.
I know this is a large task to ask someone to help with. If I am out of line by asking this, please direct me in the right direction as to where to ask for a layout plan. Thank you everyone.
