I make my modules 30" x 45" (2 x 3 large gray baseplates). I like to orient
them 3 baseplates *deep* so as to give plenty of room to model after having 2
mainlines.
I found 30 x 30 to be a bit small, requiring a lot of tables. 30 x 60 can get
too large and thus harder to transport. The advantage to 30 x 45 is that you
have the choice to orient them length wise or width wise.

lol we have the same expression:-) May I make a suggestion? Go 16 wide, which
is 1:24 scale. I use technic figs (with Belville body parts grafted on)-- I
call it "Techville":-) (Belnic sounded too silly;-)
I should take some progress pics of my 16 wides....
