Look in the latest MRP, they did and S scale 4 by 8 then chopped it in half and made a point to point (switching layout). In my opinion, the chopped version is far more interesting and would be fun to run, the 4 by 8 would be your typical boring "the train goes round and round" layout. <br /> <br />In your space, the layout will be much more interesting if you have an industrial switching layout, point to point. You don't need a turntable, you could have a barge, a small wye for your engines or both. Or at one end you could have a small fiddle yard like the layouts in Europe. See if you can find any European track planning books at your LHS as they have space much like yours and are very creative with it. <br /> <br />Forget the 4 by 8, you'll be much happier with what you can run on what you have.
