I can only second what the previous posts stated. A width of only 2 ft. will allow you to use only the minimum raduis of less than 10", limiting the rolling stock you can run on your layout to 40 ft. cars and 4-axle Diesels. Forget steam locos. If you can get a little more real estate, you could build a layout which follows the 2010 MR project layout - "The Milwaukee Beer Line". I have adapted the design of this HO project for N scale: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/ABeerforVincent_zps19820280.jpg" alt=" " /> I am right now building a 2 by 6 N scale display layout, following German prototype. It is meant to be a stage for my trains, thus operation is limited to letting a few trains "circle the loop". If you are into operations US-style, this won´t be satisfying. The track plan is similar to this one, the layout being shorter by about 4" than the below plan. <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/N-BAHNRHEINTAL5_zpse025d75a.jpg" alt=" " />
