hi all. i'm designing the plan for my railroad model. one of the biggest problems i'm encountering is i don't know how the things work in real life. i mean that since railroads companies has engineers spending their lives in studying the best layouts, probably i won't be as smart as they are (at least because they've got much experience in the field).
i'm here to ask if any of you has plans of real railroads, and expecially of real rail stations. i'd like to learn as much as possible before starting working on my layout.
oh, another thing: i checked on amazon.com for some books on this argument and i found tens and tens of books showing many layouts of any size. can you give me some advices?
thanks in advance.
cheers.
ps: excuse my poor english :)
