My advice is to start small and build a small switching (shunting in UK) layout.

Don't know if you've seen the brilliant Settle and Carlisle add-on for TS09, but if not check out http://www.settleandcarlisle.co.uk/

It's one of the best UK layouts ever made and gives a fantastic introduction to UK railway practice in the last years of steam (ie. early to mid 60s). And it comes with lots of lovely rolling stock and stuff (still being added to). I can't recommend it highly enough!

The first thing you need to do is use a spell checker on all future posts.

U.K. ideas

You could model the Settle & Carlisle. Part of the route for the Flying Scottsman. Very scenic. Freight yards, tons of sations and a giant terminal plus a large viaduct and many smaller ones. Don't forget the tunnels.

more ideas.

You could do the Bluebell line. This runs between Kingscote and Sheffield Park. Very scenic!

Use Google Earth both the 3D mode and then the map mode where you can travel the actual streets and areas. You can then capture screen shots with any screen capture type program and use those textures on making your own buildings. There's nothing like making the actual buildings which surround your track.
