Perhaps you have answered your own question. You mentioned G scale "wouldn't be that much of a problem." How many of us struggling with the maintenance of outdoor railroading in "G" wouldn't kill to have it all "under one roof." You shouldn't require the expense of stainless sreel rail and cleaning brass would be a breeze. Scratch building in "G" is nearly like working on your car compared to the smaller gauges. The deminsion, 48'X70' , is far less intimidating if you are modeling 29 to 1 rather than 87 to 1 or anything in between. D.C.C. would afford you far more operating options plus higher voltage through the rail for those long runs. The only real challange is getting started on "the right foot." There is room for your own car shops; even a light machine shop if time and finances <br />allow. If you prefer operating "solo," the larger gauge is probably the best solution. Green with envy!
