I have just started benchwork on my new N-Scale layout after many years of armchair modeling railroading so have read everything I could on this question. They way I saw it was that in general the closer to eye level the better (within reason) but the trade off was in more difficult access to the back of benchwork that only has access along one side i.e. up against a wall. I ended up using 48" which means I will probably have some trouble in working on the far back edge of the layount but these areas on my track plan happen to me mostly scenery or maybe track without swithches so I think I can just stand on a box or stepstool when I need to work back there. My track plan is around the wall (three sides) in a small bedroom. I decided to not use any "pop-up" access panels so how far I can comfortably reach is a major factor in several areas of my trackplan..
