I got a chuckle from your "collection".

Only if you win the lottery and can buy a house with a HUGE basement or an aircraft hanger.

I've found that HO requires a pretty large space if you want to run longish trains and have them seem like they are going some where rather than chasing their tail.  That mean's O is pretty a fantasy that will never be reality, at least for me.  I'll save my unrealities for favorite TV shows and movies.

Not neccessarily.

I know that given my preferences that if I had to start over in the same 11 by 22 space I have available, I would do a shelf layout around the walls in G scale with a single GP7 as motive power.
