Good one Vic!
My layout is also hidden under the trees just @ 10 O clock above the house.Makes me cold just looking at it.

Mine was taken in July of 2011, I had started on the layout in March of that year so there isnt a lot there. But since we are sharing…

I marked where the railroad is. Mostly looks like brown ground, because I hadn’t planted anything yet.
i’ll jump in on this… You can actually see my track! It was taken about a year and a half ago. Before I started on the Mtn Div. As you can see… I live on a Small city lot. I marked the encroachment i’ve made on the city Right of Way.

The RR takes up a large percentage of available lot space, it does go all the way to the N property line, and raps around the garage to the West.
The image they have is 2 1/2 years old. The GRR runs about 3/4 of the way across the front of the house.
The resolution has improved. The last image was so poor the house looked like a shadow.

Mine only shows the first curve benchwork…must be three or four years old…nothing to see…
And?
Not the best quality way out where we live.
It’s under there somewhere
How do you copy the image from Google maps?

I did a “print screen” and re-sized in my photo editor.
On Google Earth, under “File”, there’s a “Print” option. I just save that and reopen it in Paintshop and resize it there.
There is also a “save” option to save the image.

Yea, I missed that one…
Now I see how you had a problem with your rr, Dave. That is an interesting way the city ploted your lot. Usually the city part is next to the street like your but then there is a sidewalk and then your land. Your plot doesnt really allow for much of a front yard.
Here’s mine. The small building on the back of the garage is my shop/train room. Trains will leave the shop and travel along the small island on the left, across the walk way space between the two islands, and over to the yard, (on the bottom of the right island, which is the main layout.) If I ever get around to building the extension to the shop.

Interesting to see people’s ideas on how to fit a RR into the space they have…

This is our layout location under lots of trees on the small acre.
There is a large koi pond and reservoir with a boat on it somewhere under the trees… Only thing we see is the long Ho office trailer in the lower end of the lot and house up by the Blvd. Not very good photo?
The pic of our house is still from before we moved in… Guess we’re too boring

And?
Being close to a military faculty the resolution near the Chicken Coop is not so good. I can make out the viaduct and part of the side-yard loop. Street view is actually very good; you can see some of the track and maybe even a building or two through the fence.
They must be keeping a closer eye on me, this view seems to be from late last fall.
Mine didn’t show up that great so I enhanced it a little.
