hey there
hey im getting back into model railroading to, and im pretty close to your age group (im 24) anyhow the basics to starting a layout is deciding how complex you want it to be, i recomend starting with something simple, a figure 8 or an oval would be easiest, then decide on what you would like for scenery, there are tons of materials available at hobby stores and "board game" type stores that sell miniatures for games such as d&d, i recomend for scenery doing something simple with fake grass and adding features such as road, a small town and water.
anyhow, good luck with your project, im starting a build up myself in the next month (you can read my post titled "hello everybody" if you want to keep updated)
