Hi Bob, the length of the room is 14 feet, and the width is 11 feet. I'm thinking of running the layout around all 4 walls, but instead of having a duck under, the track would circle back on to itself by the doorway. The walkway in a sense would be in the shape of the letter H . As the "islands" jut out into the middle of the room, one will connect to a double main line via a wye, and the other "Island" is were again, the track would circle back onto itself.
Kinda hard to explain, but easy enough to show on paper. I'm just wondering if an aisleway of 30" is to tight for 2 people to pass, or more importantly, for to people to operate their trains. I'm also wondering if making the layout only 15 inches deep at times, will take away from the perception of depth.
Hopefully this helps clear things up a bit (F.Y.I.) one of the "Islands" is a steel mill facility, so it will require alot of space, and operating people.
I hope the information helps.
