Hi! I’d like to know what the average size of your layouts are. Excluding “club layouts” which tend to be larger, what size is your layout and how many levels do you have? Short answer: Example 4’ x 8’ one
As always, many thanks.
My basement layout’s footprint is 25 x 25.
6 x 14
L shape 9x16x16
laz57
5’ x 9’ with a 2’ x 5’ extension
2 levels
My main layout is 8 x 12, with a 4 x 4 cutout, to make it U shaped.
My Marx layout is roughly 3 x 6 .

The “family” layout at my parents: 17 x 30, 2 levels.
One in the planning phase: L-shaped, 8 x 10, 4 levels (2 layout and 2 storage).
The overall footprint of the Blueboard Central is 12’ 6" x12’
with an added extension fo 6’ x 6’. There is an access “path” included.
I hope the answer isn’t too long. These photos are from when the addition was in the planning stages.

Gosh, I don’t know how to answer this in a short fashion. [:S]
It is a “U” shaped layout with one leg of the U 6’x12’, the middle of the U 4’ x 18’ and the last leg of the U 6’x12’ with a 2’x8’ “mini yard” tacked on to the end. It has scenery extentions of 1’ x 8’, 1’ x 1’, 1.5’ x 2’ and 0.5’x0.5’ off of various parts of the layout when I came across a structure I “could not live without” after the layout was “finished” [8-|]
It has a long section of elevated track across the middle leg of the U that is fully interconnected and some scenery built below track level, so is that 3 levels or is it one level with some track that is elevated and some scenery below grade?[%-)]
Sorry, that’s as short as I can explain it.

My layout is 15 x 17 and I go thru a wall on one 17 end into my furnace room for a turn around on the main line. It’s an around the wall layout that was added to my 4x8, which became a 5x9. So the original 5x9 acts as an island and everything else goes out from it and returns to it. the layout has 13 remote control switches, and at last count, 200 feet of track. I’m all Lionel standard O and my track is all Fastrack with Legacy control.
I have a 5‘x16’ foot American Flyer cabinet top train layout. I use all AF track with AF roadbed. I have over 200 feet of track with twelve turnouts. In this layout I have a train depot, switch yard, mountain pass etc. I can run up to three trains myself with no problems. I started building this layout three years ago. Hoping to add drop down section on the end. This will give me a extra 5’ x 6’ feet to add a reverse loop.
