For our 2020 Christmas Layout, we built a 4x8 (plywood with 1x2's for underside framing) that sat upon our Dining Room Table.
The O-Tubular trackplan was a fairly simple oval with a passing siding and one stub siding (3 022 remote switches in total).
The difference maker was that we wired it up in old-school style with 4 OTS's in key locations and 6 switchable power blocks so we could park conventional locos and actually do some pretty cool switching maneuvers with two locos on the layout simultaneously.
