Guys,My prefered loop layout is still the old fashion "pit" layout where the operator is surrounded by the layout.
However,for N Scale I still perfer the 36"x80" hollow core door.
While round the walls is all the rage these days there are several things one must remember..One being are you or your wife or perhaps your landlord comfortable with drilling holes in the walls and these will be needed unless you build modulars?
As far as a 4x8 footer it can be more then a so called "beginers" layout.Many season modelers still like the 4x8 footers since its simple to build,easy to maintain and operate by one person.
