I made the pattern from scratch! I went through a lot of revisions, tweaking the paper pattern a little bit at every edition.
I used a lot of books from the library for reference and help, looking for books that cover doll making (like http://www.amazon.com/Anatomy-Doll-Fabric-Sculptors-Handbook/dp/157120024X), but I would definitely suggest looking at http://mimikirchner.com/ & https://whileshenaps.com/
Good luck! It's super fun designing a pattern from scratch. Lots of work, but awesome!
Your best bet at this point is probably this one:
Collecting & Completing Your GI Joe Figures and Accessories https://www.amazon.com/dp/0974582719/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_aFZOub08T7JT6
Maybe grab the Bellomo kindle edition as well, especially if you have a tablet. It is absolutely wonderful.
My condolences - I, too, caught the bug about 6 months ago. :)
Joining flex track is really easy. Simply slide the joiners onto each piece and solder them from the bottom or outside. You might have to remove a few ties and replace them after you're done wiring your power drops.
DCC power requirements are a bit more complex and wholly depend on what scale you're using. These two books were key to helping my understanding.
If it helps to know, my N scale 12x8 layout runs very well on the 2amp NCE PowerCab starter set. In short, it depends on how many locos you want to run simultaneously. I've run 5 locos at once with no problems.
Here's a table from the DCC Guide that really cemented it for me: http://i.imgur.com/JPzkkJq.jpg

Not that I know of. I got it from this book. I also bought this one. I think the projects in the second book are a lot cuter.
EDIT: FOUND IT!
One of my favorite books was about a shipping container of rubber ducks who fell off a boat, opened up and floated all over various oceans via currents- it's a really good read! Moby Duck: The True Story of 28,800 Bath Toys Lost at Sea & of the Beachcombers, Oceanographers, Environmentalists & Fools Who Went in Search of Them
There is another book about the incident that is not as focused on the oceanography side as the story side of it. Moby-Duck that was a great read about it.
Wasn't there a container full of rubber ducks that went overboard around the same time as well?
Edit: found it. https://www.amazon.com/Moby-Duck-Beachcombers-Oceanographers-Environmentalists-Including/dp/0143120506/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=&qid=
There's an interesting book that delves deeper into this issue. Granted, it is probably a fair bit longer than it should be, and the author rambles some through the middle chapters, but it's not an issue that seems to get a lot of press.
A large number fall into the ocean each year. Generally, they go unreported unless large numbers (like 50+) fall off an individual ship.
One book that goes into some details of this is Moby Duck.
http://www.amazon.com/Moby-Duck-Beachcombers-Oceanograp-Environmentalists-Including/dp/0143120506
Or even Moby Duck.

Just started reading this:
http://www.amazon.com/Moby-Duck-Beachcombers-Oceanograp-Environmentalists-Including/dp/0143120506
I read that book!
Someone wrote a book about the whole thing. Moby-Duck
If she does a lot of work with children this is awesome and so is this or basically anything in the 20 to make series.
Edited to add: you might also try asking over in r/knitting for ideas.
Pattern from http://www.amazon.com/Knitting-Mochimochi-Super-Cute-Strange-Amigurumi/dp/0823026647
Pick up this book.

A couple books I rely on are:
Cabaret Mechanical Movement

Moveable Illustration by the late Japanese automata maker Aquio Nishida
http://www.cabaret.co.uk/store/books/movable-illustration/
Automata and Mechanical Toys by Rodney Peppe

No problem! Here’s a book about them, if she wants to know more!
