After moving house and trying to secure sole use of the garage - I failed miserably!
However, through serious negotiations, hard bargaining and numerous compromises (including one where I have promised to pick my socks up - ??) I have been allowed to retain over 80% of the space.
To this end, I have built a stud wall to mark my territory and ensure that 'Wifely' possessions don't migrate into MY train room.
She seems happy with this arrangement and even bought me a box of Bullhead track to get me started.

Hi Steam Revival,
Lol! Glad it made you laugh and Happy New Year.
I am left with a less than ideal space, which at first seemed large, but now that I am in the track planning stage, seems to be quite restrictive.
I had hoped to be able to have a 'U' shaped tail chaser but due to the position of the door, it may end up being an end to end, albeit quite long. For various reasons, I want to avoid having a lift out section or duck under a board to enter the room.
Have cobbled together some temporary support benchwork with offcuts from a recent wardrobe installation project. As these are chipboard, they are not suitable for the finished layout, but will hopefully give an idea of what is workable.
I am sure that I will come up with something but for now...................................
Room dimensions below:
All the best!

Hi, Happy NewYear to you and yours!
That looks like a very useable space to me and I am sure that you could accommodate at least 1 loop.
Have you considered posing a question about potential layout designs in the forum pages?
Be prepared to be berated about wanting a tail chaser, seems as if the purists don’t like the idea of trains going in circles, but don’t be discouraged, it is your layout after all!
I just wish I had your space available
Happy modelling!
