A good starting point for anyone new to model railways is to allocate around a third of your baseboard space to track. This isn't a stonecast rule so don't worry too much about dividing your entire baseboard into cm squares, but if you have a two-foot wide baseboard, allocate approximately eight inches for trackbed and use the rest for your towns, platforms, roads, rivers and embankments, you'll be glad you did!
