Justin - that 4'x9' is an interesting area to work with. When I heard 4x9 I thought right away about an industrial layout idea I had sketched a few years back that would probably work, but then I actually looked at the space - it's not a rectangle! Doh!. :oops:
Immediately upon looking at it, however, I thought of Iain Rice's 'teardrop' shaped layout ideas, and I bet you could fit a scheme like that in such a space in HO. Sure, you could fit all kinds of curves on there in N scale, so the field is more open in that direction. But I'm an HO guy so mostly I tend to think in that scale better than I do with the others.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
