We recently remodeled an existing portion of the basement as a train room. The above advice on lighting, ceiling, and electrical is good, you may also consider the following: 1. Adding shelf/layout supports before finishing the drywall. 2. Cove your corners and have center access. 3. Add hydronic heat in the floor and good carpet and pad. 4. Add peninsula supports or center aisles before finish carpentry and drywall. 5. Garner a corner outside the room for your helix (or two). 6. Leave room for a comfortable workbench and storage/staging tracks. 7. Allow for the separation of room and layout lighting. Hope this helps. Have fun and good luck!
