Help in starting a Model Railroad?

How do people start a model railway layout. I have a model railway store near by. (Australia) How would you get started?, like the track and 3rd rail, tunnels you know EVERYTHING! please help more out of curiosity.

Railbuff, Steven D, and Unci gave GREAT answers.

I’ll add getting copies or a subscription to Model Railroader magazine:

One thing I learned in building several layouts: ALWAYS make LOTS of notes, and do lots of sketches of your layout !! PLANNING is fun, and saves lots of MONEY down the road. Now a days there is plenty of inexpensive software out there to do this.

GOOD LUCK
