Is 17' x 15' Too Small For 2-Rail Scale

Hello,

I've been lurking on the S scale forum for a while. I was almost ready to commit but I am a little apprehensive regarding the availability of equipment and although larger than HO, S is still kind of small for me since I am used to 3 rail O. I have plenty of rolling stock I can convert.

Operation is not that important to me. Even in 3 rail I don't think I could do a lot of operating in this small space of 17' x 15' . However, I would like a few sidings for industry etc. What I like is realism and scenery. I enjoy watching prototypical engines and cars roll by. Era is most anything 1940's to modern. One problem I can see is I like passenger trains.

Does anyone have any track plans for a space such as this? I think maybe I can get away with a 60" radius? And I am not talking about O60 in 3 rail but a 60" radius.

Your advice please.

Thanks,

Mike
