Some 4x8 Questions

First of all, I would recommend using a DCC system such as MRC's Prodigy that's available for as low as $125. You could sit this system on a homemade shelf attached under the layout with some scrap plywood sitting on a bracket made of 1x1s or 1x2s. I would suggest mounting the system at one of the ends to allow fairly equal access to both sides. If you use the Atlas SnapTrack components and flextrack, all I would suggest you wire would be a small loop of larger gauge wire such as code 20 to serve as the main bus wire and attach at two seperate locations the two feeder wires of a smaller diameter wire to give the track a healy supply of power. I hope this helps you and send a reply if you need further assistance.
