If the space is enough for you (if HO and not walk-in closet, it will be very limited), I think it's a valid option. But you have to consider lighting and power access in that small confined space. And you have to consider how permanent you want the layout in that space when building it (as in, do you want to take it out regularly, on occasion, or expect to have to take the whole thing to pieces to remove it). Access when building the layout will be very awkward at times (unless you build it so that it is easily removable for working on it). As far as operating and viewing, it will only be from one side, and while this has it's pluses and minuses for scenery, you have to consider how convenient accessing certain portions of the layout is when choosing a track plan. Another thing to consider is that it will be difficult for another person to view the layout at the same time. For some of us, that's not really an issue, because such a little layout is for ourselves, and not intended for regular public viewings. But for others, that may be an issue. ---jps
