First, [#welcome]Ah, the dreaded 4 foot (R-1) curves debate. They are the bane of some people's existance, and the only thing that allows some other to be in the hobby at all... [soapbox] I use them exclusively, and since so many other people cuss them they are usually available at shows and on evilBay CHEAP! [bday]. To me it isn't how much space you have, but how well you use the space you've got. I have (well had, it's still partially packed from moving) a giant 5' x 8' diningroom table layout. My garden (before the big D) was only 8' x 18'. Instead of cursing about what I COULDN'T run, I made the best out of what I COULD. In my case I went with Lehmann (LGB and Toytrain) for durability because when I started Sara was quite small and I was certain she would drop it (more than) a few times.... In fact the entire train tumbled off the tabletop one day and the only damage was a couple twisted hooks on the couplers and a bent flagstand on the loco (the hook and loops stayed coupled the whole way down).Here are a few pics of what can be done with R-1 in a small space.[img]http://www.catfish-hollow.com/P1040003.JPG[/img]  [img]http://www.catfish-hollow.com/P1040005.JPG[/img]  [img]http://www.catfish-hollow.com/P1040002.JPG[/img]
