I know 24' x 16' is big compared to alot of people but I have a basement with approx 24' x 50' of room that could potentially be an incredible layout but my wife keeps me on the sane side of things so I am "limited" to this size, i bet others wi***hey were this "limited" :-). I'm partial to big steam locomotives, my G-grandfather was an engineer, my grandfather was a switchman, and my father was an engineer, lots of family history with railroading. So my focus is going to be 40's era with mainly larger steam locomotives. I originally wanted things like a big mountain and a roundhouse but decided they were a bit beyond my realistic options and have settled for something with big curves, switchyard, some industry (i was thinking of a beer industry theme) and a 2 track mainline with a branchline and try to sqeeze as much out of my space as possible, so i came up with this http://supergenius74.kicks-***.net/avatar/newplan.jpg which is a sort-of dogobone design with 2' wide ailes for access and 30" wide space for most of the track, check it out and give me opinions, thanks.
