<b>The Facts:</b> <br /> <br /> <ul><li> I selecected a layout that is perfect for myself and my family. (Cripple Creek from MRR) </li><li>I have purchased all the flex track, turnouts, and cork board needed for this project</li><li>I have allocated the space for our layout</li></ul> <br /> <br /><b>The Problem</b> <br /> <br />I went to buy the lumber for my bench work and realized for 18 bucks more I could build 2 8X4 tables (the ones listed in the MRR magazine). <i>So I did!</i> Now the <b>C.H.O.</b> (Chief of Household Operations) has not scrambled fighters, lowered the DEFCON status, or other wise flown over the coo-coo's nest. My side of the garage is <i>my side</i>[:D] <br /> <br /><b>The Question</b> <br />Do I go with an 8x8 or a 16x4? <br /> <br />The 16x4 would give me lots of space to do some new things to the Cripple Creek layout we have selected. I actually wanted to build Turtle Creek as well! The turns will be terrible. <br /> <br />An 8x8 would allow me the uber 33 inch turns with double tracks and allow me to run my C&NW passenger trains. I could also model my home town and neighboring towns on the other sides, but I be wasting a lot of space in the middle. <br /> <br />I need help. I am running digitrax DCC with Kadee Couplers / Magnets. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />C&NW-Andrew
