Wow, wow, wow! Thanks boatloads! I really like your approaches to the "problem"... versions 1 and 2 are really appealing to me... I am going to mock those up in AnyRail and see where that goes... no doubt I am looking at rearranging my benchwork, but that is quite alright... I built it so it can be reconfigured "somewhat easily".
You were just about spot-on with the room dimensions, with the exception of the "door", which is 30", not 36", but I don't think that fundamentally changes any of the concepts. There is no physical door, it is just an opening from the laundry room.
One good thing about some of those 24" aisles is that it would encourage me to stay in shape and not put on any extra weight
that would be a bummer to not be able to get to the back on the train board, 
Again, I *really* appreciate your effort... I believe it is the launchpad I needed to "think differently"... there is no doubt I was stuck in a corner thinking only one way, and that way wasn't going to work!
Off to run errands now, but I'll post some images of my attempts in AnyRail based on your concepts later when I get back behind the computer...
