If you compare 1:48 to 1:87, an O Scale version I'm familiar with is 12' long x 32" wide. Assuming similar radii, On30 should easily fit in approximately 7' x 18". If you have or can get them, Wyes will tighten things up some. Making use of flex track, you can get the siding lengths right and meander the sidings a bit. You can use this to your advantage to reduce the overall length and add realism.
Buildings are fun, but make sure you have a clear line path to your switch operators. It's no fun trying to reach over stuff when you're running.
These things are a blast to run.
