You are talking about switching layouts? i have newer operated a dedicated switching layout, so i won't knock them in general, but, switching layouts can tend to get a bit boring to kids, as every kid that i have shiown my layout to wanted to have the trains running fast, not slowly through sidings. i have a figure 8 over and under, whitch with 18" curves fits comfortably on my 4x8 if you want switcing you can make sidings under the over track of the figure 8. for more details on my layout email me. <br />what i am trying to say is that a switching layout may stifle your enthuasium a bit, so try to convince your parents to give you a 4x8 space. some ideas for storage: if it is on wheels then it can be pushed out of the way when not in use. it could also be stored on its side. i say all of this from personal experience, having considered all of these options. <br /> <br />i hope you have found this useful.
