My layout design incorporates two individual track loops that are visually separated from each other in most places. These loops come together at Rico. The outer loop represents the Rio Grande Southern (RGS) main line and Rico serves as the division point. The inner loop represents the Choctaw Coal & Railroad Company (CC&R) branch line, which serves as both a source and a destination for RGS traffic.
Most of the layout is under large oak trees (a blessing in the summer but not quite as nice when the leaves are falling.) In the following Google Earth image you can see bits of the layout peeking out from under the trees between my house at the upper left and my railroad shop at the lower right.
I highly compressed this image to conserve space, but you can still see some of the details including part of the Ophir Loop at the right center, the Rico yard (closest to the railroad shop), and the log dump at Sawpit (directly south of the house.)
Has anyone else taken a look at their layout to see it like the folks on the space station do? If so, post your images here.
