If the words "sewing area" enter the conversation, start thinking in terms of a 2'x6' N-scale switching layout. Or renting space elsewhere for a layout.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

lol yes! I know!
so far there have been plans to place furniture in the room and to paint the 4' x 8' to match the decor!!!!
I am getting my 4' X 8' but I have not disclosed my further plans of adding a work bench in one corner and an additional layout against the back wall....

Employ Doc as your mediator, he is a great orator!

If you need some "muscle", employ Jerry(HO), he likes to bring the pain!

the square footage i am getting to devote to model trains keeps getting smaller!
I need a fellow modeler as a mediator!

Any Smaller you wont be able to build a layout....
If your not thinking of Model Railroading each day you must be having a bad day.....& do not leave your mind @ the station...

hmmmm
can't I have both of them!

Yeah you can have both but you will have to wait till I pull Jbrocks head out of his ... !
As Len stated, watch out for the sewing area.

don't feel bad, my area is 30 sq ft, in a corner of the living room. the dog lives underneath, along with a couple of bookshelves. when we got a new couch last year, I had to take it halfway down just to get the3 couch in the front door. a smaller area just makes you think more creatively.

...again, with bringing the pain, proving my point.
