Trainfan, if you want to get trains running soon, check out Kalmbach or Atlas plans. Kalmbach is much better for realistic railroading. Atlas seems to want to sell its track, so sometimes crams too much track in the space. If you want to design your own, grab some graph paper, but watch out, because you could spend too much time doing that and get discouraged. Also, consider going around the walls. 8 by 8 will not allow easy access unless you have arms five feet long. Shelves 18 inches wide will be plently of space for single track HO, and 24 inches will be fine for double track. Easy L-girder bench work is very forgiving of amateur carpentry, and you won't even have to damage any drywall. Anyway, have fun and good luck.
