I've had to settle for a 12X12 spare bedroom in my current home, which has a basement but it's not suitable for model railroading. My house is over 100 years old and has a huge cast iron boiler in the basement...which you access by going outside the main house, a pain during the winter months. Love the house, just hate the limitations. Come next year that will change, when I finally have a ranch home with it's long basement--and interior access. Still, I'm making do with what's available and having lots of fun. By the way, you don't need to live in a million dollar house to have adequate room for trains. I do know a guy in Houston who owns a modest home w/o a basement. His solution was to knock out a wall separating two bedrooms, and now has sufficient room to enjoy the HO layout he's always wanted to build. Living in the Midwest where homes and basements seem to go hand in hand is a big plus.
