Maybe a figure 8 on at least one track.
say 4x8
N scale or HO?

I'd like layout with 2 tracks,an overpass or 2 and not just an oval.

"N" Scale. You could get a lot more to fit. If you go HO in that space the inside curves are going to be real tight.

Yeah,I think I like HO.
N seems way too small.

HO is my preference. Since I now have trouble seeing details of HO scale, N scale is out of the question.
I also agree that 4x8 is smaller then optimum for HO, larger is better. But you can get a good bit of stuff on a 4x8 in HO, but you need smaller equipment.
A couple pics of my 4x8:
It's not much really, but it's basically a layout I built in 1970 or 71, from my original 1964-65 layout. I repaired it in 1993 or so after getting it out of storage at my parents, for my then 3 year old son and I to run trains on, which is why it's so low to the ground. But it does show you can get more than just a single oval in a 4x8.
The track plan is modified from a track plan in the old Atlas Tack Plan booklet.
