My building is 28 by 40 ft. & my layout is 18 by 36 ft. & I can walk all the way around the outside. I still have plenty of space on the inside. By having a space around the outside of the tables it helps to reach everything on 4ft. wide spaces. I also have a table running down one wall that I'm going to make into yards. That table is 2ft. wide by 36ft. long & I have already made a steel bridge to cross the 3ft. gap. So, to me size does matter. The larger the space the better. Build a seperate space for a VCR or DVD watching area & a small snack bar. Put a small work shop for trains in there. When you get done w/a layout to fill the room, that will be too small. Then you can start something downstairs, like an N scale layout. I figured if I ever won the lottery, I would build a building about the size you are talking about for my dream layout. Although I have been putting together train layouts for about 44 years, this one is my largest "so far". Shucks, in about 3 more years, I'm going to need more space to add on. Larry
