You can have that oval built with one passing siding on one side with a depot, the other side of the oval can have two or three spurs any way you want it. The yard can be a "Shelf" to store your trains in the room when it is not in use. I had one as a child and it kept the train stuff off the floor very well for 10 years. As far as equiptment, you can try to very carefully consider what you would like, I prefer to view your limits as a encouragement to get one or two things that will be very detailed and possibly contribute to your layout in the future. Quality instead of quanity. If you have a LHS (Local hobby shop) or a club in your gauge, perhaps meeting with other folks in your area who may be willing to allow you to run trains. That will help you more than you realize. I recall a neighbor who had a O (ok.. 0-27) set on a 5x9 that rests against a long wall when not in use. Perhaps there is such a wall in your home. And build it with future moves in mind perhaps? Chase the caboose is the first way some of us get into the hobby, it is fun for a while then you move on to bigger and better things. Good Luck!
