My suggestion would be to go narrow gauge in N scale. Basically it is summed up with ore cars and tank cars and log cars that are short I would suggest ore though (atlas makes them...they are relatively cheap (25' 70-ton). Keep engines that are small too. Usually like a 0-6-0 at biggest. Then tack down the track at differences in sharpness of turns. Find the sharpest turns you can make while keeping the train on the track and go with that. The sharpest turns you can afford the better as it leaves more room for scenery. Also something to be considered is how high can you go up? Somtimes it might be wise in such a small place to have a train or a couple working up a mountain. This will fully utilize your small space. Best of Luck
