If you are learning blender, it might be better to start of building
"decor" items - things like trees, buildings and other stuff that can
be placed around the track for decorative value.   That way, you invest
less time in each item you build and it's not such a disaster if late
on in building it, you come to realise you made some fatal mistake
earlier on.

I wrote something of a HOWTO in the Wiki:

...and Ingo added this (which is more blender-specific):
