Um, let me say that my opinion of the Atlas layouts is pretty low. They are a great way to get people to walk out of the hobby shop with a load of Atlas track. But beyond that I am not sure they serve much of a purpose. <br /> <br />Kalmbach, the publishers of Model Railroader and owner of this site, have a number of really GOOD layout books. None better in my mind thatn those by Iain Rice. There is this one: http://store.yahoo.net/kalmbachcatalog/12229.html on small layouts and another on medium sized layouts. The small layout book will tell you exactly why the 4x8 is not such a good thing! Please do yourself a favour, get a copy, read it, think about it, erad it again and then see what sort of layout you want. I don't think you will regret it. I know I sure as heck didn't! <br /> <br />John
