The call of the brick.... ;-) The suggestions made all sound good to me, as
experience has dictated many of them.
One thing that concerns me is if we use the partition segments supplied with
the room, we can't see what's going on behind them. While this might seem
desirable, we might actually want to be able to see our stuff while keeping
it out of reach of the public.
Here's a suggestion for a plan. I hope it fits everyone's concerns. LMKWYT.

Front
1 brochure table & TV
2 Uncle Dan's area
3 tables
4 members only
5 train area
6 brochures
d door
s chairstacks
c chairs
w window
The above design seemed natural, going with the natural entropy of the room.
I hope I didn't go ape with the tables. If we don't have/need as many we can
move the train area a bit more towards the back or use fewer tables along
the back wall. The train area could also be expanded behind the display to
show off any "no-touch" train/town stuff.
I was thinking that the back wall would be a good place for any Duplo
playmat present if we don't need all those tables, or even maybe smack in
the middle of the room perhaps surrounded by a ring of chairs to keep people
off the mat.
