Forgive me everyone, I am completely new at this. Brief background, my grandfather retired from the railroad and also did HO trains as a hobby. He passed away when I was young so I didn't get to the age to be old enough to learn the nuts and bolts. I did however love his set up and being able to run the trains. Recently I have come into possesion of a few of his trains and buildings which has inspired me to build my own little HO town. The space I have to work with is 2.5ft wide and can be anywhere from 4 to 6.5ft long. I know this may be a small area, but it's all that I can realistically have to set this up. I was hoping there were some possible layouts for this sort of space using HO scale. I was thinking of going with a basic oval, or a dog-bone shape, but I'm not sure the 2.5ft width is even feasible.
If anyone can help provide some advice or even a layout for this space, it would be greatly appreciated and help usher in a new HO railroader.
