So in my house there is a room directly above the garage (about 400-450 square feet). That room is used for my gym and my dads office. As well as a few pieces of furniture. But there is a perfect area in it to put a layout and it can support the weight with no issue. My grandparents have both told me I should get a layout in that room! My parents both love that I am into model railroading, in fact my dad is into it! But he isn't what we would call a hobbyist, he would rather just run a train on the carpet a few times a year. Money also isn't the issue it's getting my parents to allow me to build the layout. Any suggestions would help me a ton!
