So this might really suit your needs, go to atlas on line and check it out under n scale layouts code 80 and click on that layout. So 6′ = 72″ you shoud be able to cut 2 1/4′ or add if necessary.

To even come close to what you want to do I would definetly go with N scale or even Z. But N has more to work with. Get yourself an Atlas N scale Layout book and check out there multi level Layouts. one is a 4×8 and I think with that one you will accomplish “everything” you want to do and more. It is the “N-11018” its name is the Gulf Summit Susquehanna lines. I have that one and it is amazing and will keep you busy for a while and you can add to it later on as I did when more space becomes available, and it will. Let us know what you did. Tony P
