Congrats on a new house with a train room! In our present home, my train room is a very large basement room with a terrazzo floor. My layout is a large "donut" and I put down a 3 foot wide runner along the edges and one along the center. I had the misfortune to have a locomotive drop in the terrazzo, and it didn't do well. Other things dropped on the carpeting, although they were damaged, weren't as bad as they could have been. Plus the runners make it nicer on the feet and absorb stray sounds, while the bare floor sections makes it easier to slide on when repairs are needed underneath. Your results may vary...
Wow, terrazzo floor in the basement ! Terrazzo is probably one of the longest lasting floors in existence.
