the HO scale layout i recieved this fall (my first one)was 4ft by 40"- it had an outside oval track and a circle just barely fit inside that- not only was it small 2 trains could run at once! my grandfather built it in the early 1980's. i promptly added 4' by 8' so now it's 4ft by 12 ft. i see nothing wrong with a 4by8- however once you've had bigger you will never go back --the thing i most hated about the 4'by40" was trains had to be short ,6 cars was the most without looking crowded. now with 4'by12' trains can be 20 cars long and it looks ok. i kept the small circle should someone else want to run a train. What scale is your 3'by6' Josh_A?
