I think Dave has a neat idea there - model a short line in its entirety. 6000 sq ft is (for the sake of argument) 60 x 100 - so if you go once around you should have a mainline of about 320 feet. In HO, that's a bit over 5 miles. There are plenty of examples of logging and/or mining "roads" that were less than this. With only a little compression, you could arguably do something up to, say 20 miles long and still not have to compress the main sites (towns, stations, industries) at all. That really is a huge space though, so the club suggestion is interesting...! I have a detached garage that is 26x50 +10x12. I don't get all of it [;)] but the thought of even filling 1/2 of it is daunting. Good luck with your empire...! Andrew
