When I built my new layout, about 12' x 12', around the walls was not an option because of the room layout. So I have a 6'x8' opening in the middle for access to all parts of the layout. Th bench work is essentially two 4'x12' tables joined by 4'x6' frames covered by Homosote. No fancy or heavy scenery. No duck unders, I didn't want the hinges and joints, I crawl under-the dog loves it. The bench work is salvgeable if I want to. I have my Standard gauge track on the carpet underneath, not the best arrangement but will do for now.
