Don,
I am just now completing my first track.  The one thing that I learned more
than anything about laying track is this:
DON'T BE AFRAID TO MESS UP!!  If you put something in the wrong place, just
cover it up and try again.  It is all part of the learning curve.  Speaking
of curves, steamers don't like anything less than the 16000 series curves,
and they don't like grades.  Keep it level, and keep your curves as wide as
possible.  Have fun.
