I'd say this is possible, but only just. A board could be made that will fit under the standard single bed, which would give you enough space to build something substantial in N or a switching layout in HO. I'd advocate some form of cover to protect the layout from dust, beer, footballs, etc - it could be designed so the board sits on the cover to increase height during operating sessions. The layout with cover fitted would form a solid box with handles at both ends for transport purposes and it should be possible to fit trays inside the lid to hold stock, tools, controls, etc. Bear in mind that simple, solid locos will be preferable - Athearn Blue Box rather than Proto 2K - as the stock may well recieve some robust treatment. Athearn metal handrails tend to bend rather than breaking and the locos have fewer vulnerable detail parts.
