Suggestions and good practices for width of layouts needed!!

Post Body
Enter your post below.
My new layout has a maximum width of 30" except in the corners where I keep the width to 24" because of the longer reach. Height is 48" to 52" with most track within 24" of edges. Aisle width is 36" except at a couple of pinch points where it drops to 30". My room is slightly larger than yours so I have staging tracks on either side of the door which lead to two penninsulas, one on the east wall and one on the west wall. A hidden return loop under the east wall penninsula allows continuous running.
