Thinking about abandoning 5x8 layout for an around-the-room setup

<p>Thanks for the input everyone. I forgot to mention that this is indeed HO scale, sorry. And since it's around the walls, I would only have access to one side of the 9' section of the 4x9. I hadn't really considered the reach issue for the back of the 4'... I'll have to think on that.</p><p>I have space that I could easily build up the 3' section so that 22" curves would be possible for a loop around - and a loop would be essential as I really just want to model and then watch the train go around but have some operating potential to play around with.</p><p>As for abandoning the plywood sheet in the middle of the room, the more I look at the setup I have now the more I realize that a "dream" of having the train and gaming table use the same floor space was quite ill advised. I either have to put away the rolling stock and move the table every time I game AND pack up all my wargaming so I can move the train table, or I can take advantage of future expansion as has been pointed out.</p><p>Is there any way to make a 4' reach doable? Something like a cutout or such in the corner perhaps?</p>
