i am building a 4x8 layout. it has a lake and a train bridge that goes over it, an alley that the tracks run through, a small town, and various hills

Mine fit son an 8.5x11 print out. It looks good on paper. I am working on the fun factor in the design now. It will be city scape to mountain then to harbor. Setting looks like PA area. Track plan is under my Signature. I am TRYING to use a lot of the G&D ideas from John Allen.

I have my entire basement of 22 by 38 feet to work with, BUT from that I need to subtract out a 7 by 15 foot utility area and a 6 by 14 foot area which part of will be used for staging and the dispatcher.

12 feet by 1 foot, with a 2x2 foot "island" in the middle. It's an urban layout--the yard just has dirt and scrub brush, the other half has city streets, trees and buildings, in the middle is a double-tracked railroad berm that forms a bridge over the mainline but is not otherwise part of the layout.

My current layout is 8x8 L-shaped with a 4x4 square cut out of the bottom right hand corner of the 8x8 square...

Layout is still mostly just track, ballast, and pink foam - have one bridge, under which will run a river - there will be a mountain in one corner, yard at the bottom left of the 8x8 "L" and a town in the middle of the main 4x8 section - town will have buildings that are owned by various real family businesses over the years - funeral business, furniture business and then other buildings to fill in the town.

Mountain area will have a hunting shack, tree stand, as well as a hunter in the stand and a nice big buck standing down in front of him. The Hunting shack will have a grambrel with a deer hanging from it...

Drew plans up last night for the "Northern" expansion. It is a wrap-around-the-wall layout that has one corner 4x4', then runs 17.5' down the wall, turns the corner and runs 10.5 feet one direction and 5' out the other direction to tie into the existing layout. The expansion will be multi-level.

I've got a 12x35 room in my basement that I share with my utilities, a big freezer and my workbench & paint booth. My layout's a 12x25 "P" shaped three level shelf layout, with a 225-foot mainline.

if I ever do it, it'll be a 2 X 4 layout built into a coffee table with a glass cover on it, I'm thinking of just doing a "scenic train" run type of thing. Nothing based on reality just my own little place with a mountain, lots of trees, and a station to get passangers on and off for the scenic tour.

Mine is "L" shaped, 12 x 20. No portion of it is wider than 2 feet. Will be extending the 20 foot leg soon.

MY layout is in a 23' x 25' workshop..except it's a train room now..not a workshop anymore...here is a schematic of the entire layout... http://community.webshots.com/photo/137793353/200840599PgqrPS Chuck

8 feet by 11 feet, all in one solid block, with the track mainline at 43" off the floor. Heeded the warnings on this and other forums about access for when things go wrong (probability of 99.9999%), so I cut out a 'trap-door" around the periphery of my 'lake', and that rests on plywood supports under its lip. With care, one has to look closely to see the cut line.

As I age, I will definitely convert to a walk-around, an 'L", or a shelf type layout, and likely raise it to around 48" at track-level.

8' x 1' - a switching yard set in 'Heartland' USA. Well, I suppose its Chicago really...

My layout room is 24 x 15. I have around 160 ft of dual mainline and two yards, one centered, and one on the far end(still under construction). here is a pic from a year ago....man have things changed!

One of my layouts is two feet by three feet, switching layout with continuous run on industrial circulation loop.
Scenery is a WWII U S Navy blimp base on the flat Texas coast.

My current layout is 4x8 and my replacemen will be 6x8. Track plans at the site in my signature in the Logos album.

My current layout is 11x18, no scenery.
Enjoy
