Ask if you can put a shelf up, in your room. Screw a couple of 1x3s to the shelf supports, and put some foam onto that. Build a small switching layout, untill you can get the space for something larger. It'll be good for learning how to lay trackwork, and give you a good place to make learner mistakes. The finished product will give you good interaction, doing switching moves. I've found that a good switching layout can use a bit more brain power than you'd expect, figureing out to get the cars into their proper spots. <br /> <br />If you decide you want some staging, it can be built on much narrower shelves, extended out from the ends of the main layout.
