Hello y2snow, as Marc C. said "am I missing something?" When you have determined exactly what the maximum deminsions of your pike will be; it would be well to resubmit that data on another Forum entry. Until then, there isn't much anyone can suggest in a definitive manner. Probably the last thing you want to hear is the possibility of running a traction road (over-head wire) with multiple unit interurban service combined with steam powerd (2-6-0 maximum) way freight operations. If you must adhere to the lesser deminsions [3' X 24' ], this mix of traction and light steam will afford you variety and challenges that will never bore you. If, on the other hand, you prefer a "roundy-roundy," i.e. dog bone, inverted 8, etc., plus using heavier steam, then the second option of 6' X 24' is a must. In the long run, I think you will find "point-to-point" will offer the greatest opportunities for prototype operations and continued entusiasm for the hobby. Just another humble thought to add to the excellent suggestions previously mentioned. Good luck
