I think my dream layout would be one that is finished or one that I could finish in a reasonable amount of time. 
I'd like to have to space though to be able to model a prototype and the locations long the right of way. My current basment is something like 25' x 40' and I think that would be plenty big enough for me to handle. Nothing modern though, stick to the 40's, 50's. Double track main line, with passing sidings and the like to hold 50+ car trains. Oddly I'm not a big fan of open water, but I love harbor and water scenes. I'd like to be able to model some reasonably large ships (freight tankers) and sailing vessels as part of the layout. I've come across plans for a CN Ferry called the Canora which I'd love to model and include in operations.
So many ideas, so many cool things to look at and model. This really is a great hobby to be involved in.
