I am working on building my first layout I have a space of 10'x12' to work with and would like some ideas of how to do some track layout with 072 curves. I think I am going with Fast Track for the easy use and looks good enough for me. Also what I should I put down over the plywood for grass/dirt?
All the suggestions are welcome.
Thank you

I would approach it in this manner:
1. Am I going to build around the room or an island layout?
2. Then, map out the doors/windows/closets to be considered.
Once you have done that, then you can play with the track plan.
I wouldn't do anything about the grass/dirt until I saw what the track plan looked like built.....I would want to see what I had built first.

There are no windows or doors in my way. I plan on building a shelf layout off the two walls the layout it butting up against. I am going to make the benches 36in deep all the way around. Here is a picture of an idea of what I want just on a bigger scale.
The layout there looks like about 9X7....The bigger space will allow you more flexibilty for sidings. Since you are using O72, you won't have room for much.
For layout ideas, these 3 sites have plans:
Fastrack Yahoo site
Atlas O site ( usually an O72 or O54 plan can be adaptated to Fastrack)
Trains.com database
