Great you have the space, but I would suggest a pause right now. Once you are in the space try to mock up this layout as best you can and check reach. Can you get to the areas you need to for construction, maintenance, scenery, derailments etc. Running 3+ trains is cool, consider noise levels and your ability to monitor all that action. As others have said here before there is an article about planning where the author suggests you create a list of "givens" and "druthers". If there was a Pulitzer prize for model railroad writing, this is the one. I would also suggest you do what I did with many a memo I had to write, put it aside for a day and see if you are still of that mind the following day. If you are bring it to a trusted colleague for further review before committing to a course of action.
