TRUE, but it is amazing what you can do with an 8' X 7 1/2' space. I have three track ovals: 072 standard on the outer, an LGB R2 in the middle, and finally an inner standard 042 oval. I run a three car state set behind a Lionel Classics 2-400E on the outer loop, a 26" Piko BR 24 pulling three PIKO 14" DR beer reefers plus an LGB P/B wagen on the middle LGB loop, and a 408E pulling two 214R reefers and a red 217 caboose on the inner oval. I have a number of the smaller tinplate accessories such as the 126 station, the 437 signal tower and an AF 102 station. I also have the SG Lionel weigh scale with an LCT red 216 hopper displayed on it, and two different 436 power stations plus a 438 signal tower. Finally, three LGB circus animal cars with a wonderful Schleich assortment of elephants, tigers and lions plus two trainers on/near a 3' section of LGB display track. ALL of the above on an 8' X 7 1/2' display. Works for ME! You just have to be creative, and "never say never"! (WINK)
