Great topic Arnold. Here goes:
I would build a separate building 75’x125’ to house the layout, and a wood shop walled off from the layout 25’x30’.
A work area near the layout to work on structures and scenery. A lounge area near the layout with seating and a refrigerator.
Rest room for after the libations are consumed 😉.
The layout would not be against any wall. You could walk up to it from all sides.
It would incorporate every track feature that I can’t have now due to space concerns. Not that my layout is small now, (21’x32’) but I could really build it the way I always wanted to.
I would represent the main lines East and West with return loops (very large), so that I could have continuous runs if I desired. I now have point to loop so I have to pay attention!
At least 8’ to 10‘ ceiling (currently at 6.5’).
I even went so far as to design a track plan should this day ever come. It's attached here:
