Well I dont have one yet Im planning one In Nscale on a 4x8 layout.
Mine is 5x9. It was originally going to be 4x8, but I decided to expand it so that I could have 22" radius track instead of only 18".
Mine is 6’x1’ with two 6"x15" projections on each end for the curves, 7.25 square feet, so I selected 2x4 (8 sf.) Pretty dinky for HO, but it’s all mine…
3x5 piece of particle board right now until hopefully wednseday and this weekend when i can get the bench work done. my dad said today he’ll buy plywood on wednseday and we can build it after thanksgiving.
9X12, here open grid construction.
My size wasn’t listed. Right now my size stands at 6X16. I am planning another 8 foot extension which will make it, 6X 24

My size wasn’t listed. It’s 5 X 17, plus a 5 ’ section added to the width at one end.
Just started construction on my new layout. I have a space that is approximately 13’ X 30’ for right now. The layout will be a double decked around the perimeter with a center penninsula.

60’ X 30’
Better answers to the question might be in terms of square feet of the layout takes, or number of feet of track on it, since layouts come in varying shapes. Mine is equivalent to a 4x8 at 32.5 square feet, but is not a rectangle by any means.

60’ X 30’ All I can say is “WOW” Hope you are getting help with building the layout

4x8 seems to be a winner,but my question is since the beginning of lumber yards and building if the norm for plywood was established at 6x8 instead of 4x8 would most of todays layouts be 6x8?
I’got a new one of 56x2
What do you think about that!
I’am making now railplans. I’ts more difficult than it likes.
But time is on my site.
I don’t have one yet, but I’m planning on a 5x8 or 5x9.
Can you believe it, mines too big! I live in a rural area and work on it mostly by myself. Most of my model railroad friends live 90 or so miles away and visit quarterly. My layout is 26x41 feet (1060 sq ft) walk in railroad with about 500 feet of main line run and 10 % is double decked. ( It still wasn’t big enough to get eventhing in I wanted for operation.) The main line trackage for the lower deck got finished last weekend is wired and the DCC system is working nicely. Scenery is complete on about 15%. I’ve been working on average one day a week on it for about four years. It’s way to easy to enter the train room at 9 am Saturday morning and not come up for air until dinner time. It loads of fun!

My railroad is 10X29 with an 8X16 extension. The name of my railroad is the Four Corners and Pacific (freelanced HO). I have been building it for the past decade. It is nearly completely scenicked. A retired friend of mine and I work every Thursday afternoon (that is my Saturday) and every other Monday night.
My layout is L shaped, 12’ x 24’ on one leg and 7’ x 18’ on the other. I have about 1000’ of hand laid track and 130 built up turnouts.
Is this like a phallic thing?
mines 4x8 and it keeps me plenty busy
