My new boss wants me to help him with an O scale layout. Sounds like he wants some details. I do not know where to begin. Sounds like he has a good bit of stuff, but I have never worked in anything but HO and my skills are rudimentary at best. My layout is freelanced and built on a cut and try basis. ie no track plan etc. The whole idea scares me and I would appreciate any ideas.

It is important to find out what the "boss" has in mind for this thing. Will it be a whole room or a table in a coprner of the study? Get some details, as Flash suggests, and we can help from there
Now is definitely the time to quiz him. Learn exactly what he has in mind. Has he seen your work, to understand your accomplishment levels? If you don't want to have him over to your house, perhaps take some pictures to show him? Boxcab E50
