John’s 15×14 HO scale model railroad is U shaped, and has a mining theme:
Here’s a pic of the layout:

Here’s some more on the layout:
“Designing the modules and working out a track plan left me with a decision that 2 of the modules had to be built inside at the layout location, as they were too big a footprint and I had a storage island we wanted to keep which is under the mine mountain where I have storage tracks. So the storage tracks below the mine mountains, and the city module were built in place.
On the schematic, pink is the first bridge module, blue is the next town module, purple the storage tracks and finally green for the mine module
Building the bench-work for the city module in place also gave me plenty of space for my modeling junk underneath, I use boxes and plastic bins. So far the only trains I’ve run are for testing the tracks for continuity and clearance for 85’ passenger cars. Wiring of the switches, signals and blocks to come soon as I can get to them”
