The first layout I will build is a 4x8 for my son. It has to split, stack, and slide under his bed when not in use. I am basing construction on the Lionel modular specifications. The second requirement is that it joins with a modular segments so that it can be part of a larger layout. The modular main line will act as a siding for the smaller layout. Here is a screen shot of my plan:
An earlier version fit on 4x10 and needed three segments to store it. The problem with it is that it would not fit in his bedroom without using the bed as a tunnel or removing furniture.
Looks like a good plan. I would probably use the top design myself or mix the two designs up. That's what I did on my original 4x8 layout. It was suppose to a elevated outer loop with a inner loop that went under it. Instead I didn't elevate it and used a 45 degree cross track.
