Hello all.  I am looking to start planning my layout.  Don't know what size I will make yet, just looking for information and ideas.  Do any of you know or could suggest some books on model railroad layouts or a detailed website.  Maybe a detailed documentation of someone building a layout from start to finish.

I have gotten lots of information from this message board, but would like to have something that is not so spread out and more concise.

Also, I am not good a soldering.  Could I not use well placed terminal pieces?

Thank you in advance.
Clint
