well you are first going to have to decide what is most important to you. Lets face it you won't be running 30 car+ trains with mutiple engines on the front end so what about a small layout appeals to you - scenery, buildings, switching, etc. A small layout affords the opportunity to superdetail eveyrthing. I'd suggest you take a larger plan you like and build a portion of it as a module. That way when it is done you might be able to negotiate some more space and some day fini***he layout

Model the Union Pacific.Their trains are usually stopped on the main line, waiting for traffic ahead to clear. You will only need enough room for one train,since it won't be going anywhere[;)][}:)]!
Ride Amtrak. Cats Rule, Dogs Drool.
