Countryside Loop under construction

Since the layout won't completely go around the room (I kinda need to use the doorway), there has to ulitmately be two loops in the circuit, one at each end. This is so that the trains can run non-stop without constantly reversing the direction.

The first loop I'm building is the countryside loop, since this is going to be the simpler of the two. The plan is to create a canal / country-inn scene in a depression created in the loop and have some cottage style housing around the outside. I plan to put a hill over a semi-circle of the loop and have two tunnels, so that it's not so obvious that it is simply a loop. The tunnel can give the impression that the circuit continues elsewhere.

The lock will lead to the canal bridge eventually

Old-style cottages for around the edge of the loop

View from above shows the loop which is attached onto L brackets which are screwed into the wall
