Thanks mobilman44 for your tip.

I don’t want to get on my layout so I will be careful with the width I decided to use.

I’m 5’ 10" tall and my shelf layout is approximately 24" to 30" inches deep with elevations between 48" to 54" high. When operating I have no problem reaching the rolling stock. However when I’m laying track or working on scenery I have a series of step stools that are 8" high to approx. 18" high to improve my reach.

Overall size: 3000 miles. Width: no more than 24-28" Can you reach your trains?
