mabey if u made your layout bigger then u can put eveything on it. I want to try to make Knapfrod too. Pluse at the end of the summer i'm going to exstend from 4x8 to 8x8 or 4x10 because a asked my parents for a nother pecie of pliwood for my b-day along with other things i want.

8x8 might make it hard to reach anything in the center of the table.   30" to 36" is about the maximum that anyone can reach comfortably.

Well how big of a room do you have and what do you need to put in there?

Well, 4x8 could give you Knapford and a goods yard.

It could also give you Tidmouth Sheds and a little goods yard along with a quarry.

4x8 dfinetly cudnt Give him Knapford nd Not the whole of Tidmouth, U could Include the Sheds and turntable in the middle and the Main line running around it, or You can do the book version of Knapford wich is what Im doing. Heres A map I done to guide you through, for the other side u can probally do a mini version of Gordons hill or where the windmill is:
