I am wishing to build a U.S.Prototype Layout,and am restricted to 8x4ft. Max,
I must be crazy to dismantle and re-build a new layout,but I am anxious to get back into the scenery thing again. Motive power would be Bachmann,0-6-0 Switcher,4-4-0 Old American,and perhaps 4-4-0 Modern American,and a 4-6-0 . Any diesels would be small,4 wheel trucks. Most books have a few small layouts,but I am wondering if plans could be obtained on my computer ?. I am thinking country style,mining,logging,farming ,but always thinking old and small. Thanks for any ideas.
Go to http://carendt.com/
and youll find hundreds of 4'*8' layouts.
Thank you Adari, this blows my old impression that small layouts were not popular in the U.S..Great site.
Sunshine,
The vast majority of layouts in the U.S. are 4x8s, or maybe table tennis size - 5x10. Consider that every MR project layout has started with, and normally ended with, a 4x8. They've even used the 4x8 as a comparison size for large layouts.

Sunshine - were you planning on using EZ track for your layout?
