Hi! I'd like to know what the average size of your layouts are. Excluding "club layouts" which tend to be larger, what size is your layout and how many levels do you have? Short answer: Example 4' x 8' one
As always, many thanks.
My basement layout's footprint is 25 x 25.

My main layout is 8 x 12, with a 4 x 4 cutout, to make it U shaped.
My Marx layout is roughly 3 x 6 .

The "family" layout at my parents: 17 x 30, 2 levels.
One in the planning phase: L-shaped, 8 x 10, 4 levels (2 layout and 2 storage).
The overall footprint of the Blueboard Central is 12' 6" x12'
with an added extension fo 6' x 6'. There is an access "path" included.
I hope the answer isn't too long. These photos are from when the addition was in the planning stages. Enjoying the World's Greatest Hobby Northwoods Flyer

Gosh, I don't know how to answer this in a short fashion.
It is a "U" shaped layout with one leg of the U 6'x12', the middle of the U 4' x 18' and the last leg of the U 6'x12' with a 2'x8' "mini yard" tacked on to the end. It has scenery extentions of 1' x 8', 1' x 1', 1.5' x 2' and 0.5'x0.5' off of various parts of the layout when I came across a structure I "could not live without" after the layout was "finished"
It has a long section of elevated track across the middle leg of the U that is fully interconnected and some scenery built below track level, so is that 3 levels or is it one level with some track that is elevated and some scenery below grade?
Sorry, that's as short as I can explain it.

My layout is 15 x 17 and I go thru a wall on one 17 end into my furnace room for a turn around on the main line. It's an around the wall layout that was added to my 4x8, which became a 5x9. So the original 5x9 acts as an island and everything else goes out from it and returns to it. the layout has 13 remote control switches, and at last count, 200 feet of track. I'm all Lionel standard O and my track is all Fastrack with Legacy control.
I have a 5‘x16’ foot American Flyer cabinet top train layout. I use all AF track with AF roadbed. I have over 200 feet of track with twelve turnouts. In this layout I have a train depot, switch yard, mountain pass etc. I can run up to three trains myself with no problems. I started building this layout three years ago. Hoping to add drop down section on the end. This will give me a extra 5’ x 6’ feet to add a reverse loop.

My temp carpet layout is about 6' x 6'.
6x16 (original 6x10 with 2 ft bridges connecting to a 6x4 addition)
My basement layout is "L" shaped - It is 10' x 12' and 5' deep. This is in a corner against a wall, and I'm getting too old and fat to climb on it, so I'm planning to change it to 15' x 6' right up the middle of the room.
My Christmas tree platform is 6'3" x 6'3"
30 inches by 40 inches. It literally hangs on the back of the door when not in use.
12 x 40 ft walk in type...about 140ft of main line
7x46 although it narrows in places to as narrow as 24 inches
I think it's about 22 by 12 - just ovals of track and a few sidings atop a rock-filled raised crawlspace, covered with foam board and indoor/outdoor carpet.

Currently building my first real layout, starting with a 16'X15' (ho) and a 8'X8' for the Marx. This is a new endeavor for me, very excited and trying to learn all I can from everyone here.
Mine is a 12' x 13' with a open middle.
