I Think your formula on track spacing worked very well. We modelers tend to crowd our track spacing and then regret it when we have to rerail a car or use the old 5 finger crane. Your spacing looks good to my eye and that is why I asked. I'm amazed how many tracks you are able to put in a 24" wide area.
I've got a room 11' wide and 30' long of which about 25-26' in length is usable above the garage. One long wall has an additional 8' wide by 5' deep dormer that has a desk and full width windows behind it on the outer wall. The walls go up straight for about 50" and then slope inward as most attic bonus rooms do.
I feel fortunate to have this much room but it shrinks quickly when you're trying to do mainline operation in S. But, I wouldn't switch from S now even if I had 10 times the apace or less than I do. It's just the right size to model as you know.
I can't decide whether to save the dormer space for an upstairs workbench area or incorporate it into the layout. I have another great area downstairs in a spare bedroom (empty nesters) set up now for buiding models and working on trains, so I don't really need the space upstairs, except its in the layout room and on the 2nd floor. At my age stairs are becoming a nuisance and someday maybe a problem.
