Being incarcerated in a condo for the past 5-1/2 years, I still prefer no layout to one on a door... it's like a tease, or going to the t*ty bar and leaving with the fat waitress. I'd rather get none than settle for the best I can get.
my problem is the room is 9' X 9.5 and the one car garage is fullof crap. I too do the NS so long coal drags are out
I always like the "less is more " approach to "benchwork", but not on aisle space.I like about 18" or less for the actual "layout" on the walls for two reasons. You can do a ton in 18" or less depth, and it will cost less.Using the above approach, and utilizing insulation foam for construction material, you'll be able to wall mount your modules or sections on simple 90o /"L" shaped brakets. These are available at Lowe's etc and are very sturdy. Just a couple of large screws to mount each bracket to a stud. Easy to install, and easy to remove.The same type bracket can be used for mounting upper facia/lighting.This "approach" will let you make your scenery go "above or below" the actual brackets, so tall steel trestles or large stone viaducts or easy to fit into the track plan.I would also suggest using the full 8' length of foam for your "module" length. No need to have it to "N" track standardsHope that this helps a little

In my one bedroom apartment, I must have no furniture covering one of my two windows in the bedroom so I can have access to it in case of a fire. I don't know if this is a city code or just rules my complex has. Just something to keep in mind.
