Here's a screen shot of my AnyRail plan. I have a 3 X 9 (actually 38" X 111") table on Mianne benchwork. I've tried connecting the two loops with the switches I have on hand and so far I can't make it fit. I really like what Jim Policastro did in the posting above. Very similar to Jim's layout, my plan is to put a mining scene on the left side with an ore tipple over the double track siding. The town would go on the right side. I also considering an elevated loop or a trolley line.
