I have built two 4 x 8's in my lifetime. If by operation, you mean train meets at sidings, then I recommend a railroad set in the piedmont on mountains. This way you can crowd levels against one another and get away with it by the scenery. It would be the traditional "spagetti-bowl" with levels crossing above other levels at a few points. Imagine a couple of figure-8's stacked on top of one another. A siding or two on the mainline, and maybe a two track yard on the lowest or highest level. A high level yard would be a good trick, not many modlers would think to do that - but maybe it would be a mining town up in the hills/mountains running down to some unmodeled connection to the outside world on the lowest level. Happy modeling!
