my advice to you would be to pick one or two. you won't have room for much more. start with a published plan and try to work in the scenes you want. some, such as tidmouth sheds, will take up alot of room and dominate everything else. others, such as the docks or some of the through stations, won;t take up much space at all.

I would disagree with that, I've seen far better looking layouts that are small in size compared to large ones with a few loops.
