4x8 HO scale layout planning help

Is this a requirement for the amount of space you have (is it an entire room, or the corner of the living room?), or a bill of rights saying you can only do HO scale? My suggestions are larger space, or N scale. If you can't (or don't want to) do either of these, I would try having a parade route on one side, and a town or village on the other. A parade route is basically a single or double track route that travels through loads of scenery. (you wanted mountains and woods, right?) It also meanders, instead of being completely straight, and it takes away the toy like feeling of a 4x8 layout. If you can possibly fit it, try 22" curves (don't worry, that's 2 inches of room on each side of the table), and take picutres of what you want your area to look like.<br />
