I did a 4x8 portable hinged table. I covered it with a green indoor /outdoor loop style carpet, then put velcro hook on the bottom of my track and such so that it would stick to the carpeted top. The inside, being hollow, was able to store things when it wasn't in use. It also has attached legs that fold away. When closed, it's 4x4 and 8" thick.

Right now the table is in my "Lego room" piled high with boxes. I'll try and get some pictures of it for you. The only design flaw was when it was closed and full of stuff, it was kind of heavy and unwieldy. It was made to haul to train shows, and did a few before it was retired. That was not because it was difficult to work with, but because the business it was built for, closed.

If space is lacking for a "permanent" layout, consider an O27 layout 30" or 36" wide/deep along one side of a room, over the existing furniture. A long narrow format can give a reasonable amount of mileage, and it can be in one piece for simplicity. Some ideas here:

It's easier to maintain interest in a layout if it doesn't have to be taken down and put away regularly.2013-2606-3x12-layout
