I had no idea starting this thread would end in the result thus far :) Anyways thanks to EVERYONE who has replied no matter what your reply.  I had already purchased the frame work shortly after I made the post so I'm going to go ahead and move forward on a simple 4x8.I'm not a model railroader who has gotten into doing a lot of switching, etc yet.  I just enjoy watching the trains roll around the layout.  I haven't done model railroading since I was about 16 (I'm 24 now) and I went to the OKC train show and a few others this past year and it bit me in the butt again so I've got the itch to start.The layout is one to really learn how to use foam and landscape all over again along with allow my 4 year old daughter the chance to run a layout without the need of stopping the train because it doesn't have a loop.  On my old layout my dad built the benchwork and did a bit of the scenery for me.  It was basic.  No road bed and no foam with the grass mat stuff which i cut out and hand painted road which looked horrible :)I love the concept of the Georgia layout however with one car parked in the garage this layout appears to stick to far into the middle of the garage if I did it.  I'll take a look at the specs later.  This might be a layout with some changes I could do down the road if I move this layout into the office corner or something.  I'm going to install casters so when not in use it can slide against the walls.Any other comments or suggestions are always welcome.  I was planning on trying to make this layout expandable with maybe a piece of track on either end going to the edge for possible future expansion with my next layout.
