That's a pretty good size space. If you're an MR subscriber, check out the track plan data base elsewhere on this site. There's a great selection of mid sized n scale track plans there to get your juices flowing.

Building the Rock Ridge Railroad with the slowest construction crew west of the Pecos.
I have a couple of commuter cars on my layout. It brings in passenger service without having to make space for large passenger trains. It's also just enough to get in the way of freight service. My layout is in a C shape. The two long sides are 8' long, and the connecting section is 7 1/2' long. It's an N scale out and back switching layout set in a large metropolitan theme. I start out on one end with a yard with three different interchanges. This is placed in a large city, thus giving the impression of its importance. The train then moves to the other side of the layout where it encounters the industrial park. N scale allows me to have larger industries and longer sidings for them. Under the layout is long term food and general storage. Work with your better half and you'll find her much more supportive of your layout. I've mentioned on another thread to sit down with the spouse and includer her in planning. The more she gains; the more you gain. In many instances the proper use of space under the layout can actually gain space in the house.
