Personally, I find that looking at the prototype is generally all the layout design ideas I need.
I absolutely agree and thank goodness for Google Earth etc. There is no better plan than the one the professionals laid down for the real thing. However our members have differing objectives due to either space, ability, finance, basis of interest (some build for Ops), etc. Personally I try to tick as many boxes as I can and have come to the conclusion that as long as you have the space (or access to space for a modular set up) you can build a realistic set up that also offers scope for Ops too.
Just my outlook.
But yes, let's get something started with discussion about designs individual members want to explore. One of our group members is setting out on the planning path, is a member of LDSiG too and asked how I went about designing my modular set up Dillon. I have asked him to post a thread here to set out his givens and his druthers and let's see how it evolves.
