Having a train space anywhere in the southeast without climate control isn't a good idea. Not only will you deal with moisture, insects, temps that will affect your trains, you will also have to deal with how all of those conditions are on you. Sweating or freezing in a garage is not enjoyable and will make it hard for you to go out there to enjoy your hobby. I lived in the Orlando area for a few years and I can tell you it gets very uncomfortable in a garage there. We recently moved into our new house. I designed and built it myself. One of the features my wife absolutely insisted on was a dedicated train room. I have a 16x21 room just for my trains and hobbies. I am very glad to have that space. Since you are having your house built to your specs, I would highly recommend a dedicated train room. It will make your hobby time much more convienent and enjoyable.
