Keep aisle space in mind, please. Don't expect to reach in much more than about
24-30 inches from a table edge. you may find that you need some "access
hatches" or more of a walkaround layout with peninsulas, than a huge expanse
that you can't get to the middle of.
That layout you posted was interesting from a thought experiment perspective,
but not practical from a build perspective. IMHO as an ex model railroader
where this topic comes up a lot.
