I had some business to take care of in Norwich, Ct. so I thought I'd stop & see Steve @ Ross's. I bought 20 pieces of 120" curved track for me new layout. I have no plan yet but know that one circle will be 120". That way I will be able to run just about anything in the future.

120" curves and all #7 switches and you will be good to go with any thing, any where, and any time.  I wish I had that kind of room, but I had trouble coming up with 7 to 8 feet for my curves with 090 track on the outside.  It takes a lot of real estate to turn a 120" curve.  Running around the perimeter of the room helps immensely.

Ditto with my Attic layout... Spence, I agree. You'll love the big curves. If I could have bought 0144, I would have.

 

FWIW, the big curves are a bugger to photograph! The curves are superelevated with 1/16" basswood glued along the outer perimeter of the curve. My inner 0120 loop is my passing siding. It's about 28' long give or take.
