Consider 40 by 60 then. That's a nice round module size, it's 2x4 of the big
grey 48x48 baseplates with one row of the smaller 32x32 baseplates (in the
middle?)
I just have to reiterate (and I'll be making the point again on the call) 65 is
an oddball length. Make the width what you want, that doesn't matter as much
(except for corner modules) but make a few of your modules have standard track
spacing at standard heights. That doesn't mean EVERY module, but some of them,
which allows for interoperation.
Why deliberately forego it for little or no benefit?
