Brian, I recommend you read the book "Track Planning for Realistic Operation" by John Armstrong. Not only will it help you with your immediate problem of planning a layout, it is a nice book to read in its own right. You say you are planning a 4 x 7 shelf layout. There is a track plan for something similar but requires more space. It is one of the track plans published by Atlas for their HO Scale sectional track. Is this going to be set up on two walls of your bedroom? If it matters any, we could help you design a bridge for both your doorway and your closet that would possibly permit continuous running later on. You could start with a plan for two walls and expand around the whole room later if your parents think it is OK. Model railroaders have a keen eye for utilizing space. Good luck - Ed
