<p>I'm not scared and understand where everyone is coming from in their opinions. Due to my space issues and the fact I really want a couple loops taking up the least amount of room the 4x8 is a better option for me. Last night believe it or not I built the benchwork for it and it's the first time ever i've built something with wood. Much easier building that than trying to do a lot of measuring to make a kind like the georgia above.</p><p>I enjoy more of the inside parts of the layout including scenery, landscape and buildings so a 4x8 gives me a ton of room to do this. While I may offend some people that are saying the cars will not look right taking a 22 radius curve until I get experienced enough I'm not going to get <em>that</em> picky about how realistic the cars look on the track. I'll just compensate by not making the train extremely long so it's in both corners at once.</p><p>I'll post some pictures of my benchwork tonight so you guys can see what I've done thus far.</p>
