Taking a step back in time, here's Scott's layout under construction.

This view shows the line-of-sight down the center of the layout. Note the flip-up extensions. There is one in the back, by the door, on the right, which allows for continuous running. There is another one, barely visible in the lower right-hand corner of the photo, that completes the continuous-running circle.

Turning left, this is most of the left side of the layout.

Turning right, this is most of the right side of the layout.

This shows about 90% of the entire layout in one view. The layout's design is a very effective use of space, where the room is, essentially, divided in half by two doors in the center at opposite walls.
