You can get about 26 40' cars along the 12 foot wall. 13 80' cars. See how much you can see when you stand against the other wall -- the full length or a bit less? You can get the appearance of a long train if it extends past what you can actually see.
If you line up cars straight along all 4 walls you can get up to 95 40' cars. (no room for locos). Then you'll need curves which will deduct a few more.
So maybe build a high line with a good railfanning site (or two) on it and link in to a lower level layout where you can do a bit of switching.
