Fergie and Jim's idea's are the best. definatly want to maximize the usage of the space. I like Fergie's use of upper and lower area, you can do it either way, take the loop up, or take the center up (like around a mountain platue). this give you an area to place a small town with maybe a single spur or two. The roundhouse and turntable idea actually utilizes a reversing loop more prototypical, especially for passenger stations where you want to turn the train around fast. <br /> <br />You really don't want to neglect this area, if you don't build it up as a hill, mountain, town or service area, it'll look to fake. You want the viewers (IE you and whoever) to feel as if the track is not a loop at all (exept in the case of a service loop around a roundhouse, even then it will not be totally noticeable). The idea is to pull the attention from the track to something else, just planting trees will make the track the focus.
