You also need to think about how you want to operate. Do you want to duck under... do you want pop out hatches? How long is your reach? I'm 48 and wondered how would I want to run my trains at 58 or 68.

I don't want to crawl on my hands and knees and I want to be able to reach everything on my layout from a standing position. When I am under the layout working, I want to be able to sit without bumping my head (I'm 6'4" tall) and be able to comfortably work and move around.

The result was a pseudo around the room layout with a center peninsula. I have a lift up bridge for entry. I also constructed a removable foam 6 foot section in case I ever need to replace my furnace (Knock Wood).

Take a look at many examples on this forum and play with one of the software programs to see what will actually work for you.

Have Fun!
