That's a good size our current one is roughly 8' x 6' jammed in a 10' x 10' spare bedroom...(but it's all jumbled up with other stuff at the moment - so no pix)

In the new house we plan to expand it to at least 4' x 16' in our Rumpus which is roughly 16' x 23' (so a lot more workable arrangement)

That German one is mind boggling :eek: The one in Hobart called "Alphenrail" is good but probably only 10% of the area...
