You have tons of room for a nice layout.
Since you asked for comments, I will give you one that I think many others will give as well. Your diagram indicates that the current plan is for three large ovals. I can tell you that you will soon get tired of watching your trains go in nothing but ovals. Figure eight type designs in the middle, with diagonal and 90% crossings really add interesting movement and countermovement to the motion of the trains.
Also, for simplicity, you are currently planning to have basically straight track runs connecting the ends of the ovals. I believe you will also get really tired of watching your trains just travel past you in straight lines. Adding curves and bends in the straight runs will really bring the running trains to life.
Hope this helps.

First off Mannyrock thank you for your input! I realize this is a bit rough on paper right now. I do not want just 3 giant ovals with straights and 90 degree turns. I apologize for the poor visuals I provided. I was just trying to explain in a very basic bare bones way the design of the layout I'd like.
