Dan (IRON MAN) is the man to ask as its his and his dads line, there are 2 circuits as such though. I will try and explain.
The bottom loop is the line on the right hand side of the triangle as seen in the photo, the left hand side heads off to the main terminus station, the station being the only place you can move from the bottom circle to the top circle.
The line in the middle of the picture (with the blue diesel and the quarry man type coaches on) is the line from the terminus station to the top circuit, this line meets the top circuit at a station with a run-round loop (picture taken from track level of blue diesel). The top circuit is suited for smaller locos and rolling stock so bigger type locos only run as far as the station. The top circuit is the one with the Bertie passing along it.
Theres an awful lot more to it than that and hopefully Dan will be able to put up a track plan of it all at some point. Well worth a visit if ever you get the chance.
