An indoor G-scale layout with the floor space of two American football fields and then some. Probably the largest indoor G-scale you've ever heard of. The only thing about the building is the open sky as I can't seem to make a proper ceiling. In the real world, my ceiling would be painted sky color with some clouds and "daylight" light fixtures would be used. The doorway to to the massive train room, if it were physical, would be through the basement and up a ramp into the middle of the floor areas since the layout completely blocks a doorway through all the walls of the building.

[FONT=Roboto, Arial, sans-serif]Jon's Double Gridiron G-Scale Model Train LayoutThis Trainz Route was started in February of 2018 and completed in May of 2018. Created in N3V Games Trainz Railroad Simulator 2012, Build 61388Based in the fictitious American town of Jonsville in the fictitious Squatch County and in an area typical of the rural Pacific Northwest with pine forests, a river, two small dams, a boating lake, a small town, a large campground, a small industrial complex, a mountain, a large central mesa, farms and ranches. This G-scale layout is housed in a special square building which floor is slightly longer than a football field: floor dimensions are 315 feet x 300 feet. The walls are painted from bench to ceiling with sky, forest and mountain scenery to make a wraparound diorama. The mainline is about 7.10 miles long in the form of a figure 8, the largest loop of which runs about the walls of the building leaving this loop massive with a giant pine-forest mesa in its center separating the train building into two major open-floor divisions and the smaller loop of the 8 is near the north-central wall of the building where Pine Mountain and Hemlock Grove Park reside. The crossover of the figure eight is a train bridge spanning over the tracks below. at ground level. The track is graded up an embankment to the figure eight crossover. The line tunnels through Pine Mountain on a grade. Two parts of the layout, the industrial complex and Lake Drummond park, protrude from the middle of the large loop of the figure eight into the east-side open walk-around floor area of such. Lake Drummond, a scale body of real water, is about 100 actual feet long and about five actual feet deep, being large enough for real humans to swim in. The mainline is a double-track system with standard American loading gauge. This is a standard gauge railroad scaled down to G-scale. The railroad is the fictitious 'Jon Bailey Home RR'. This is the fictitious 'Pine Mountain Division'. Note: There is a tour helicopter and amusement stagecoach and horse carriage rides for this layout also.[/FONT]
