[quote user="JamesNWR05"] I've actually been in contact with someone who purchased this exact set and they haven't had any problems- and they operate Bachmann Thomas locos as well. So I guess we'll see. [/quote] 1.  Does this person have your exact locomotives? 2.  Is this persons layout mounted against the walls?  The edge of this layout design contacts the walls, or nearly so. [quote user="JamesNWR05"]I think two scales will give me an opportunity to use my creativity. It's all a learning experience in the end.[/quote] Will literally cost twice as much, because you will need two of everything.  That having been said a 4x8 of just one will be more than adequate for a first layout.  May I suggest disassembling the righthand 4x8 to allow access to 3 sides of the left hand 4x8.  I would also suggest eliminating the outer loop and only use the inner 2.  Also I would move the pair of crossovers back from being directly connected to the curve.  This will eliminate the S curve that could cause severe issues.
