I think with a base that wide, you would have trouble seeing the cars from below. I did not see what height you were thinking of, but maybe you need to consider open mesh to support the trains.
To expand on ThinkerT... what if you had an "angled" shelf, like one half of a canyon so the G scale was at the top, on the outside, (getting the largest curve diameters), then step down the height of a loco, and come "in" for the next larger scale, etc. A lot more work, but you would be able to see every train since the "layout" would slope so all tracks visible, like the inside of an open pit mine.
Just a crazy thought.
