A terrific job has landed in my lap. I will begin working for a gentleman who started building model train layouts in his spare time...and now has the opportunity to build a pretty big full time business. I will be doing everything from screwing down the initial piece of plywood to the installation of the finished product in the customers homes. I have NO experience at all but, I am am a quick learner and this man thinks I will perfect for the job. Is there anyone here that can direct me to some places (websites?) where I can learn about Train layouts in a hurry. I don't know about the different size trains or the major companies that market them at all. I have heard of Lionel but that is the only thing I know in relation to model trains. Oh, I am so lost here. Any help would be appreciated. I am feeling super inadequete. :| Thank you

Interesting work !! I've built 2 railroads for home, and work on another club-railroad here in California.
Here are 2 GREAT websites:
National Model Railroader Association: http://www.nmra.org/#railway
