yeah you cant get any bigger or you wont have room for you workbench. i have a ten by 20 spot that i use for the work shop i have my desk my tool chests and all kinds of stuff down there in that room. right now all of my trains are in my bedroom my section of the bedroom is 9 by 10 and i have another desk in there and dressers and a workbench and rolly chair the workbench is a board laid on top of boxes. where i sleep is on the floor the way i like it with my head under the desk thats also where i keep my laptop under the desk lol but i will be getting another spot in the basement to build my layout that will be something like 10 by 20 or 25 and i only have three walls for that area so now i can build giant penynsilas that stick out kinda like florida does i cant wait to get started on my benchwork but in the meantime i am building structures and preping my cars and locos.
