I'm in a quandary here, I am restarting the hobby and have very little space in my home. When I was growing up as a boy, I had a large basement area to build my layout, but my mother decided that my layout would be a better folding table than for my silly toys.
Now I am a grown man with my own home and a somewhat understanding wife who bought my a HO set about three year's ago. The problem is the lack of a large basement. SO I ask this question, I can make a 4x3 foot area in my office for a layout but that is it. I do not want just a oval shape either. I would like some suggestions so I can decide since I also have a computer background and would like to digitize this layout also.
