For an 8000 sq ft room, that's 2000 ft or 30 actual miles of railroad PER LEVEL. I generally estimate that a linear ft of run takes about 4 sq ft of floor space. There are live steam railroads that aren't that big. I want to follow this build as it transpires, please post frequentlyĪn 8000 sq ft double deck is a lot of railroad. you might as well put the lowest staging yard at 30”, the main deck at 46” and the top deck at 62”. That alone is a huge layout and since we are going 8000 sq. Heck 1000sq.ft can be 10’x100’, or 20’x50’ with many more combinations of wall lengths. feet of the 8000 total and go from there. No matter the size of a layout, small, medium or large they are not built over night. No matter the size you end up drawing and building really get a plan drawn for what the 1st sections will REALLY be and how they will connect to the balance of the layout. Rob Chant if that’s you contacted is an advocate for buildable smaller layouts. Good luck on the 8000 sq.ft. I figured when I read someone suggested contacting Lance he would say no. Nice big dream at 8000 sq.ft. and I hope your wallet is flush. Never got passed laying the concrete floor. I did own a old chicken building roughly 20’ wide x 300’ long. While in my younger then my current 69 years old days I don’t ever think I planned a layout over 6000 sq. I really need someone that I can bounce ideas off of and help me design the layout. And quite honestly, if someone really helps me with the design process, there could be money involved as well. If anyone can help me with designing I would greatly appreciate it. So with that amount of volume it would be a class two. I thought about adding in an ethanol plant to be apart of the ON. I know I want at least two to three of the class 1 railroads, I already own a freelance model railroad called the Oklahoma Northern, which will be a Class 2 or Class 3, that railroad will primarily be a Grain Hauler. The bottom deck will be at 30" and the top deck at 60". My plan is to have two decks that are connected with no helixes. I want to incorporate a lot of different of scenes, industries and other things. It is going to be in the basement of the house. I'm conflicted on many aspects of the design and what all I want on the layout. I am working on designing my dream home, and my dream layout at the same time.
