Tom- that’s a very well-written response. As I have mentioned, the newer parts of my layout echo your around the wall “layout supports the railroad “ philosophy. The earliest section of my layout is 4 feet wide, and is a pain to reach/maintain. There is also much more area to have to “fill” with costly scenery . My most recent section is 2 feet wide, as I have learned as I progress. Also , on a narrower layout, the trains are closer for viewing up close . These ideas have worked well for me . JohnA
