Looking for opinions (pros/cons) and ideas how best to design a layout if you had 4 - 4x8 boards of plywood/homasote already on tables (space no issue) and could configure them any way you could for continuous operation. All 4 in a square (with center opening) ? , one after the other ? 3 in a row and one at end ? etc. Not so much interested in modeling a specific line, but more so running with scenary, etc. Would also prefer not to have all the track flat on the boards but areas of maybe upper or lower elevation. Also be able to run as many trains as possible at a given time. Should all the tracks be able to connect by switches ? or have 1 independant line with say x # of other lines that the lines would connect ? Just looking for ideas, I know it's a wild question with lots of "depends if" but looking to draw on the experience of those out there. Not into point to point operation. Sort of the opposite of traditional thinking lay the track and then build the scenary around it. Thanks in advance, truly appreciate any/all responses.
