I started with 4' x 8' and it's now up to 6 1/2' x 9 1/2' using a foam base. I built a wodden L-girder platform on rollers first so I can roll it to whatever area of the living room I want when my wife wants to rearrange furniture. (She got tired of me being out in the garage all the time. Now, I have my layout inside where I see it all the time and she has me inside with her.) I can also move it if we decide to move. The layout is not attached to the platform and I keep the layout a maximum of 30" high so it will fit out the door. I do the old timers, so the cars and locos are short. Because you have 4 x 8 laterally doesn't mean you can't vertically with your track, also. I'm switching to On30 and still have enough room to run 2 lower ovals, 2 upper ovals, and a "back and forth" section on the upper levels. I'm working on rearranging some of the track to accomodate the On30. If you're into long diesels and cars it doesn't work well.
