I'd run the new steam offerings from Athearn or Bachmann, they're great! Well, Proto has some nice ones, but are expensive, IHC has some cheap ones that run well (2-8-0 at least), but the detail is not at all up to the standard of the new steamers from Bachmann and Athearn. <br />As below, expanding to 6X8 for at least one sheet is a good idea, but how practical that is, only the owner would know. <br />A possible compromise is to run a 22" radius on a hidden corner (blocked by buildings or scenery) and then run full 30" radius in the forground. This would allow maybe a 5' or 5 1/2' sheet... Well, it's an idea that could help if the space is too small for 6 by just a little bit...
