I think the original plan could be easily converted to LS if you have the avalable real estate

The plan on page 47 (forgot to mention the page number in the e-mail) would be do-able with an overall dimension of about 24ftx42ft.
If you are talking about building the entire layout as on page 97, then I hope you have a very large back yard, that one would take up a chunk of yard about 160ft x 220ft. Then you would be looking at putting down nearly 20,000 ft of track. It could be done, but the budget would be running in the neighborhood of $150,000~$250,000, before putting in the first building.
Stick with the plan on page 47, or even the original concept plan on page 40. Then take the next 30 years to grow into the full layout.

CHANGING THE PLAN FROM 1:87 TO "G" GAUGE YOU WILL NEED A STEP LADDER.
IF I REMEMBER MR. ALLEN HAD TRACK FROM 2 FEET ABOVE THE FLOOR TO 6 FEET.
GOOD LUCK

Thanks for the help
John Allen built 3 versions of the G&D. 101 Trackplans has the plan for the first and smallest in enough detail to build. IIRC trackplans for the other 2 were in Model Railroader. Building the final version in G would be quite a challenge and very impressive.
Enjoy
